and as for the 30-1 its very petty of you to correct me on that in my opinion im sure im not the only one who would have said it was a 30-1 winner.

Well sorry that I'm concerned with factual accuracy - I called Antitrust out on the very same thing awhile back. So as much as you'd like to think so, it's not just you. A horse is not at X-1 odds until the horse reaches X or greater to 1 odds. I'm sure she'll vouch if she reads this.
And the bet was predicated on your assertion that she would not be within five lengths of any horse in the gate. Therefore, she needs to be in the gate for the bet to work. Your words, not mine. So, should she enter, I'll be glad to pull this sumbitch back up and hold you to it. What'll the odds be, considering that I'm giving you a five length headstart?
