#1 Money Burner

Port Conway Lane · #1 09-05-2010, 03:33 PM

Thousands of maidens are money burners. Then there are high profile races that are memorable because of the beaten favorites. Arazi made his mark in two big events but didn't race enough to be the all timer.

Then there are the 4-6 to one shots who consistently suck up like Dollar Bill. I would guess a horse like Jacques Who will always be near the top of the list.

Is this a thinly veiled Perfect Drift thread?

You could have made a fortune by backwheeling Perfect Drift in exactas from age 5 on. He was at least pretty predictable - Nationalore would run 3rd in back to back Grade 1's than run a flat 5th in a Cal Bred maiden special weight.

Perfect Drift - in his first couple of years - was actually one of the most underrated horses of recent times. A friggen badass horse with a trainer whos incompetence was the stuff of legend.

If some alchemist like Dutrow had PD - instead of a trainer who'd go 2-for-106 at Turfway Park - he probably would have been Horse of the Year at least once. Who can forget Murray Johnson - when this horse was in his prime - threatening to skip the Breeders Cup and instead run in the Melbourne Cup.

Out in SoCal the Sadler trained race mare Black Mamba was a closer that burned some.

Officer was a known to rip you off.

Alex Solis for a jockey to burn your money.

Anyone know of a horse who isnt a money burner? One comes to mind - Zenyatta
How much would the parlay pay if you played it on all her wins?

The biggest price you ever got on Zenyatta was her maiden race. She was 5/1.

2nd biggest price was the BC Classic - where she was a clear cut 5/2 favorite.

3rd biggest price was her first Apple Blossom win where she was 9/5.

All very short prices after that.

She's been a generous 1/5 favorite so many times throughout her career.

Wilko after his BCJ comes to mind.

I read somewhere about $28,000 +

her BC win put it at $15,727 according to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zenyatta

A $2 win parlay on 17 straight stands at $25,000, http://blog.timesunion.com/horseraci...pa-maybe/4904/

In stakes races - she's 16-for-16 with a $2 ROI of $3.28

Officer was 6-for-9 lifetime and 5-for-5 lifetime in sprint races. Hardly a money burner
