There is no doubt in my mind that the way the first few races go, the wagering follows. At Arlington the first two races were won by fairly heavy favorites. The 3rd race was the mile and none other than the Rock of Gibraltor, the heaviest pre BC favorite was up next. If those first two races had not been won by favorites, there is no doubt in my mind that the money laid on the Rock would not have been as heavy. So the call goes out, who do you like cause you are gonna get a price. Well I have no idea about the turf so I dont go near it. But there were people that really liked Domedriver. And they got the horse at a better price imo because the first two races had the favorites winning and winning easily (Azeri).
