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

Here we go again, the thread that won't die. Why do you keep trying to have the definitive final word?
First of all, you can say all you want that someone plugged a horse, but it is still only wild speculation on your part. None of your evidence is remotely conclusive, in fact your only evidence is the horse running a greatly improved effort.
Who was the loser who said anything about 50 WP? I certainly didn't. You called the horse I played in that race a questionable choice at low odds. I pointed out that he was the fourth favorite in an eight horse field. You said those were low odds compared to your PK 4 plays which pay 40-200 to one. In my case you are referring to the win odds on my pick being low, but you compare that to the odds offered by a four race sequence. Of course 9/2 would be ridiculously low odds for such a sequence, however a fourth favorite at 9/2 would make a very nice contribution to a total pick 4 payoff in the odds range you are looking for.
My play on that race as i recall was tri's and or supers, which are also wagers that offer returns of high odds. I did not say that my play was to win which is what you imply when you say my horse was low odds at 9/2.
