It Does Not Take Long
In the annual procession of carnage (otherwise known at the Triple Crown Trail), Mo looks horrid and loses the Wood. Before the race he was trading at 1.15 at the UK Betting Site Betfair. He was solidly chalk in the Derby portion of the antepost betting as well, trading at a tidy 5-2. It did not take long for that to change. A minute after the loss, $5000 pops up to book Mo at 9-1 and only one soul wanting to buy him at 500-1. He will probably be higher later today, as he has already traded some at 30-1. After the way he looked I can't see anyone seriously biting at only 9-1.

Secretariat lost the Wood too. Until I find out what the connections say, I'm not giving up on Mo.
