No not 10 points worth. Maybe 2 or 3 worth. But all the odds were so strange to me anyway. Mine That Bird has created a situation where no longshot will pay what it should anymore.

I was only joking. I agree with you about the odds. I still haven't figured out the odds on Twice the Appeal (Borel) and Pant On Fire.

If any horse is close to 40-1 people are going to bet on that particular horse and brings the odds down thanks to Mine That Bird.
