Monkey Puzzle was a pretty good horse and occasionally popped on the turf, I think Canon Shell use to train him.

In the movie Blood Diamond, Leonardo Dicaprio kills a monkey because he is hungry.

It was a sad day when I saw him run last for $5k at Phila Park and he looked like he could barely pick up his feet.

i backed the green monkey to never win a race at 4-1 when he was bought by coolmore. at the same time he was just 33-1 to win the KY Derby.

dont know about that one. When I hear that he retires, I'll go in to see if I get paid out. They could hold onto the bet until he dies, but paddy power are usually good about bets like this and its only a small bet..

at Wynn, the last time I checked, he's STILL just 75-1 to win the Derby.

Dreaming of Anna, for reference is 100-1.

I will take action on either of these horses for anyone interested. I'll give you 500-1 on The Monkey and 100-1 on Anna.

ha! i'd almost be tempted to take a shot on Anna, but not with any significant amount of money -- and it would just be a homer bet, not a realistic deduction from handicapping.

i just find it insane that the undefeated and untested 2YO filly champion is a longer shot than an overpriced horse who has never started and is currently relaxing on a farm somewhere.

Really should be 5000-1 !

Who? Anna or the Monkey? I hope you mean the Monkey.

If I had bigger pockets I'd be betting Anna in future wagers -- but I won't get to Vegas, and will have a hard time getting someone to take action on her for $20
