I made a token bet on the race because it was the right thing to do considering the exacta prices. I bet 3 times as much on the winning number figuring the worst I rated to do was break even. It hardly covered the rest of my day....though if I played the 3rd a little more cleverly it would have been a great day.

GP was best again today. CV got a better trip and won (as is often the case in this ****in game). CV is better than the horses GP faced last out and, to his credit, he was able to hold off GP. If the trips are reversed, however, he gets trounced. I can see taking a shot when the odds are right but not for $8 and $14 numbers. By your comments, I get the sense that you feel GP and CV are evenly matched.
