I was considering putting $200 on Hofburg. But my dad would kick my ass if he ever found out I put something like that on a 1/5 shot. Hofburg looked good but what a weak field.

That would be a horrible play. In a situation like that when he has 164 K of 201 in the show pool you want to play another horse to show. If Hofburg runs out you collect a bundle but unlike me you need to pick a horse that finishes in the money.

Agreed. I’d never actually make that play. To clarify, it would have been $200 to win, but I’d still never do that. Too many variables to risk $200 for a 20% return.

Plus Saratoga has been killing me. I’ve been making some money at Del Mar and losing it the next day at Saratoga. I’ll save my bigger bets for Del Mar for now.
