FINALLY: a good match up-- the Virginia Derby

[blackthroatedwind]

This is embarrassing stuff even for the internet. Court Vision won a match race today. Good for him and if you were smart enough to see the value in the exacta pool then you got 6:1 on him. Other than that, why someone would bring up a thread from months ago, and use it for today's race, when Stevie Wonder could have seen that he was only one of two contenders, is beyond me.

There are a lot of great things about this game, and one is that it is constantly evolving, and when we are wrong we often get chances to revise our thinking, and a negative opinion one day can become a successful positive opinion on another. For instance, IEAH paid $5 million for half of Court Vision. They recouped $150K of that today. Good for them....and I wish them the best of luck in the Hollywood Derby, where they can hopefully get another $300K back. Nobody that said he would never be a good dirt horse was wrong today. Why someone would even suggest that is mystifying.
