Until Big Brown. :)<BR/><BR/>Seriously, it is not like you have to worry too much. Only three horses who have not raced at two since 1900 have been under ten to one to win the Derby. It is not like it is a common occurrence with massive ROI handicapping potential.Pull the Pockethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05082676049275768769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8560898823512627114.post-17766498954895918362009-03-02T00:38:00.000-05:002009-03-02T00:38:00.000-05:00I will bet against the unraced two-year old in the...I will bet against the unraced two-year old in the Derby for the rest of my life.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8560898823512627114.post-42640250272019818562009-03-01T17:42:00.000-05:002009-03-01T17:42:00.000-05:00I saw that.

The Ohio bred who wasn't officially became a winner in the 4th at Mountaineer last night. $2.60/$2.20/$2.20 galloping by a wide margin. Two questions, was Mnr management sleeping in leaving the show pools open(over a $150k on him and they pay a dime on the dollar) and what if every ADW account holder had looked on it as a way to give your balance a 10% pop? That could have hurt plenty.<BR/>RGAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8560898823512627114.post-69064768062598314172009-02-28T12:40:00.000-05:002009-02-28T12:40:00.000-05:00Ah, Murphy's Law of wagering.
