I was going to buy an interest in 2 mares this fall and now I am only going to buy 1 so I just saved around 20-30K, so we will see.   Anything to justify a big bet.  I usually only do it for the derby and superbowl but I am going to make an exception here. | 
	
 I dont understand why the horse has to be 2-1 or better?  If you feel the horse is going to win, then who cares if it goes off at 3/2 or so.  Please let me know your logic because maybe I am not seeing something that you see.
