Has anyone ever made a successful Futures bet?

The fact that Borel took the ride when he had very little history with the trainer and Nafzger had a horse in the race was a big tip-off that he can run. . . He showed a lot of maturity in his debut. . .

That was the most impressive maiden win I've seen probably this year. Just like you said, for Borel to take him wide and to choose him over a Nafzger colt, and a good looking one at that, says a lot about what Borel thinks of the horse. Throw in the fact that his connections (who don't usally go out and spend 250,000) just bought him as a 2 year old in training says something as well.

By the way, hes currently 125-1 at the Wynn.
