What do you mean by no risk at all? Based on last year's payouts, she only makes money if she is first or second. She likely won't be close to either of those.

I think the right way to put it would be "no gain at all."

The only thing interesting about this race will be to see how it actually comes to pass, and how much BS people are willing to believe. All "new" ideas aren't correspondingly good ideas. They got lucky last year when perhaps the most popular horse in a decade, California Chrome, made his final start, and they still likely lost about $8 million. Hard to know what you do as an encore for that.

Much as you or I might appreciate Gun Runner, or even Forever Unbridled, they don't sell in any kind of mainstream way. Even Arrogate didn't do that.
