I've always said that I believe it's better to have $100 on a 2/5 horse that wins than it is to be on a 7/1 shot that loses. Maybe that's just me though.

Funny that Rags won this race easier than she won her races in CA. She should have been in the Derby. Been saying that for two months now. Too bad.

True. Its just that people seem to forget that 2-5 that never broke well and lost. Its a long haul proposition. If the favorite at most race tracks wins 30% of the time... and the favorite averages a bit above even odds... you will find yourself quickly in the hole.
