Actually there is no real limit to how much 5000-1 you could take because you could easily turn around and give people 500-1 on him for whatever you bet....or more.

Excellent point! And if you give me the 500-1, I can turn around and find someone who would love 250-1. My goodness, that 5000-1 could support a small economy!

I hadn't realized that you were offering more than 5000-1 on all those horses.

I'll be pulling my lear jet, I JUST bought it, into Schenectady momentarily.

Couple of points from reading this thread. First, I agree with Chuck about Great Hunter. I'm not that interested in anyone else at this point....Also agree with Andy about Scat Daddy although I said that about everyone from the FOY. They are all slowish. And Scat Daddy needs to be ridden b/c he's a grinder and he isn't even a fast grinder at that. He is a poor man's Limehouse who was able to finish 4th in a bad crop. This one couldn't manage that.

As for the 5000-1 comment, I'm sure Pointgiven didn't realize what he was saying so I'm not going to pile on.
