I didn't even look at the ML's in the program, I figured Got the Last Laugh would be 4-1ish so 12-1 is also a terrible ML.
Donovan's doing a good job overall, this is not a rip on him (he's actually a friend of mine), but I think he needs to see what people bet in maiden races with a lot of firsters/second timers- in the case of the Yankee Victor horse especially, it's trainers and workouts that drive the action, not necessarily pedigree.

Good call, I didn't even see that place price. Very well meant and the works indicated as such.
