Now on to Andy, who preaches bad bets on 1-9 horses. He was a bad bet, and you singled him in the P4, that was a bad bet. You preach, I listen. Live and learn.
How are those hindsight glasses working for you? I guess if Andy went 4 deep in the race and Uncle Mo romped by 12, he would have been a fool for going so deep in a race with a 1-9 shot in it.

The guy gave out a $125 horse the other day and you want to ridicule him about singling a horse who looked like the only way he could lose was if the jockey fell off. It's a little unfair, don't you think?
