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

70 Beyer to 81 Beyer is NOT a 15 length improvement at 6F (or any distance, for that matter)... a lot closer to 5 lengths.
