Hard to believe Pegasus Wind ran poorly after only 3 5f workouts. Lukas did the same thing with Folklore last year. She lost her comeback race, got hurt, and never ran again. I look for this horse to be screwed up in much the same manner.

No odds on those 2 crazy kids called Tiago n' Spankey Come Home? Those 2 both showed more desire than 99% of other horses.I know Tiago is just gunna get better each race.

I just want to be able to book those odds....all of 'em.

I'm trying to decide which is more appealing, 40-1 on Lawrence the Roman, or 50-1 on Teuflesburg.

Then again, 75-1 on Pegasus Wind is pretty hilarious as well. And, I'm sure there are quite a few posters here running to get 75-1 on Pink Viper.

I'm highly suspicious that Abe made these odds.

Even better....7-1 on Nobiz.

Yeah, I want a little 7-1 on a horse three months before a race where if EVERYTHING goes perfectly, and he runs impressively in both all his preps, he might be as low as 5-2 the day of the race.

Now THERE'S value.

They took a bath on Smarty Jones (I talked to the bookmaker at the Palms about it) and they've adjusted to the point where there's absolutely no value in trying the future boards in Vegas.

A horse like Hard Spun would have been 50-1 at this point 3 years ago... now he's 12-1.

Is that 75-1 on the Green Monkey for him to win the derby or just for him to run in a race?
