The #12, a mdspwt dropper, won the H2H wager while finishing 2nd and paid $2.80 for $2

The #6, a first time starter, finished LAST

Yeah -- a 2/5 shot VS a 4/5 shot!

AND -- a grand total of $815 in the pool after using SENSATIONAL marketing skillls to get the DRF to write a column about this new bet at Calder -- on my facebook feed ... I had 3 different people link a story about this new bet.

I will say this ... horse racing has some good marketing people now. I mean, they can flat out market.

These guys probably all went to college for four years and stuff.

Too bad they're all stupid and they all know absolutely nothing about horse racing and even less about gambling.
