They'll be Hanging From the Rafters at the Big A Friday

I thought Jazil would win yesterday but would be hard pressed to ever bet him to win at what I knew would be a very short price. My question is how a horse like Jazil gets to be a short price. Who in their right mind would bet a horse who everybody knows has no shot of being above 2/5?

I really cant comprehend how any horse like this gets to be the price they are.

If I had to bet a horse at 2/5, one coming off a long layoff that comes from the clouds wouldnt be it. I would much rather have a speed horse that is going for consecutive victories or something like that.

Agreed. I thought 3/1 was a gift on Take the Bluff and structured my P4 tickets around him and the one next to him. Sadly it got burned up in the finale.

Nothing wrong with Jazil but 2/5 on a horse that really wasn't cranked up AND THE TRAINER INDICATED AS SO is ridiculous.
