Brianspencer: The horse improved about fifteen lengths off his lifetime best, after three recent, pitiful efforts. His top Beyer was 70 going in, and he Beyered 81. I submit the horse improved about fifteen lengths off his best and a pole and a half off his latest. Why do you disagree?

Cannon: I would guess maybe $300, was bet to win on Direct Splash. Say $100 luck and $100 dumb money. That leaves $100 and I cannot account for that "player". Years ago we set up a horse, quite inadvertently, at Keeneland , told everybody and all their friends. In fact, we claimed him back, after losing him, at a huge premium. He won well clear, paid $58 and "everybody" had a ticket on him.

AP jim I play almost strictly pick 4 's. Odds of 40-1 to 200 -1 are normal for me and everyone else who plays in this method! Fifty to win, fifty to place is loser city. BBB

Seems like an awful lot of trouble to cash a $100 bet.
