UM also opened up the favorite over Ghostzapper, in the early betting of that race.
I vividly remember that day. My parents throw a gigantic 4th of July party every year....I blew it all off so I could watch Ghostzapper's 4yo debut, and bet a few other horses I really loved on the undercard.
To say my mother was pissed at me was an understatement.
I wasn't able to watch Candy Ride's American Handicap on July 4th '03, Left Bank's Tom Fool on July 4th '02, or Xtra Heat's Prioress on July 4th '01---I wasn't about to spend another July 4th with my family and nitwit relatives.
Sometimes you just have to put your foot down.
