exactly....... it shows a sucker is born every minute.....it was an exhibition race that got 2 million bet on it. it is not sustainable...its a gimmick. so what they got people to bet one race. the idea is to have a series of races between the contenders to build the sport and the big race....of course serious fans know its fraud....how could you possibly bet on that race? even more so when seeing the way it was ran? the horse actually ran for about a quarter and the others were either so bad or not trying that they walked through harness horse fractions.first quarter in 26 after this horse misses the break. then i read some "great" article about how this horse "looked the part".....looked the part of what????? a horse thats many lengths better running in a workout that fools bet 2 million on.........i can hardly wait to bet against this horse...put him in a real race. oooh, i bet on uncle mo when he was 1-9......yeah ok........good for you....
