Anybody here take those 157/1 odds on Out of Gwedda?

I didn't even bet on Pool #1. I didn't even realize that it was this weekend because I checked the TVG website and they didn't even have it. I assumed that it was next weekend and not this past weekend. It turns out that TVG simply did not offer it this year. This is the first year that TVG did not offer betting on Pool #1.

YouBet didn't offer it, either. I emailed them about it on Thursday, and they said something about "contract difficulties". It ticked me off, because I was counting on that to bump up my monthly average there.

Took 44-1 on Forefathers and 33-1 on Liquidity. Not at all impressed with odds on other contenders twelve weeks out. Feel those two have a shot at not only making the gate but contending

as for why some aren't offering the futures betting, seems to be difficulties with the whole deal, so i can imagine they're limiting those who can offer it. when i say difficulties, i mean that horses were still being offered in the first pool that were retired-and then they had to go back and cancel on at least two of the horses.
