Gotcha Gold runs back today again at Monmouth against complete nothings and goes off at 15/1!!

So, not only do they talk funny down there, apparently they don't even know how to read or think either!!

Not a Joisey-ite or anything (only in the summer), but if Im not mistaken the whole country has a chance to wager on that race. The odds are reflected by the publics wagering. I'm with you that it is unfathomable that the horse that beat Lawyer Ron could go off at such odds.

It's always easy at 7:00 when the race goes off at 5:00.

wow!

this is one of those days everything came in and i didn't go to the otb or track

touchdown peyton in the 2 mile race , and Gotcha Gold

of course if this "bad luck" continues this should mean that lava man will infact win tommorow and my only bet of the weekend will pay out less than i invested...

15-1 !

Gotcha Gold is a nice horse! 9 furlongs was certainly the factor every critical eye was concentrating on but 15-1!

it is worse than a bad beat , a few no-bets and they pay huge

brilliant post dude.

i guess from here on out i'm going to ask what were people thinking 2 hours after every race has been run.

i wish things came as easily to me as they do to you.

IMO, this is probably the overlay of the year so far. He not only beat Lawyer Ron over the track last out, he was MUCH the best, doing all the work setting an insane pace and holding on.

well, yeah, sure, now you say it 10 hours after!

anyone who thinks this horse was a big overlay is guilty of redboarding!

I am from Jersey but did not bet the race, had I not been getting my Butt kicked at the SPA I might have played but would have boxed the winner with Master Command and Papi so I wouldn't have cashed any way. In the finale at the Spa I was live to the 4 & 6 and was too busy thinking about that to really focus on the Islen.

Anyway my take on what people were thinking is that:

When he beat Lawyer Ron and lets not forget he barely hung to win and he was the LONE speed on a Speed Favoring track.

I think people thought that there would be a battle for the lead and Gotcha Gold would not actually be on the lead.

The real question is which BC race should the connections enter him in The Sprint, The Classic or the 1 mile & 70 Yards?
