It would be nice to know a horse who is 20-1 is going to be a chalk. I wouldn't have a problem with playing a few tickets using the horse as a single if I could see it ahead of time.

That was more than barn money. That was everybody in the joint money. Nobody who can read a DRF or watch a race bet the horse, that I can tell you. And as far as the jockey being good and breeding being good, only small betting chumps bet that stuff, it never really affects the pools. That race ought to be investigated.
