But I do love it when I cash a ticket on a horse that wins at 4-1 or higher, and Russell is the rider.

It happens a couple of times, just about every week.

I remember being at a track in South Florida and hearing some guys lament after a race...."these races are fixed!"

I suggested they handicap the possible "fix" in their future wagers.

That's a true story. The point is, when I play a Russell Baze race, I'm doing a handicapping angle on him....and his horse....and his trainer, too.

From a wagering standpoint, I actually love the fact that Russell being on a horse attracts the betting $$.
