That race was more than off, that race was professional wrestling on a grass course. There was a script and everyone knew who was gonna win before it went off.

Early money. Legit or not, early money.

It wasnt legit and it wasnt just early money, it was in between and late money as well. Look at those pp's and tell me how that horse could possibly go off that price, make the loose lead that slow, and win by that many. No way, no how, uh uh. Noone even tried to bother him in those fractions. Phony race.

Mike, I'm not disputing it. I'm just saying it's something I always watch. Many times it's a longshot I don't consider and the odds often climb back up a bit. Worth noting.
