On a slightly more serious note, the 5th race was a very interesting example of bad bettors cashing. The idea of taking even money on that preposterously mediocre horse is beyond ludicrous and anyone that did is a guaranteed loser at the racetrack ( I am not picking on you Jim and would bet you would agree that the odds were absurd ). I made a substantial bet on the 4, who ran 4th, and had that horse been even a scintilla of a racehorse he would have absolutely galloped. Taking even money on proven mediocrities when there are legitimate underexposed horses in the race is a road to disaster.

Today seemed like a day when those horses were winning.
