At some point " they " may tell you....but " they " won't include you in their group.

It is a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma

On a somewhat related note, I see that Precious Too finally won today. Yes, Precious. I imagine that many of us have followed this enigmatic runner in her, well, almost comical career as a race horse. Some were there early (moi), others were still with her late. TODAY, she rewarded those STILL with her with a nice 8:5 mutual. She won for fun, too. Never let it be known that this game isn't fair.

She was off a claim by Bruce Levine from Robbie Bailes. Enough said.

She was probably an overlay at 8:5.

I like the one's that think THEY are the THEY that know...like the one's that made Contessa's 1ster in the MdnClm (when are they going to stop betting his 1sters in MdnClm's, he like 3%?) 5/2 fav, bet down from 15/1 in the opening flashes...

I unfortunately went to Ass and Stew...shouldn't have been caught at that track today

What was interesting about that horse is that while it was 12-1 early in the betting it was basically the favorite in the exacta throughout the betting.

It was a sick race to bet...the winner, who had never hit the board before his last race, was 3-1...how do you take 3-1 on that horse when he was 50-1 last time? and then he jumps up and catches me...tough one

This is something that has always interested me. Who are "they"? Owners, trainers that put such large amounts of money in the early part of the pool it moves odds in a huge way. I'll admit that i do look at the morning line and look at the first flash of odds and just this past weekend Elys fields m/l was 15-1 and on the first click he was at 6-1 which of course made me look a little more at the horse. I didnt bet but did tell a buddy of mine that was at the track about it so he bet him to win/place. Coincidence probably but i do pay attention to the early movement. Always find it interesting.

That is usually a better indicator of who is actually the betting favorite. I always keep a close eye on that when a horse opens up much higher or lower than expected.

Anyone who bets a 1ster in a MCL race during the AQU Inner meet deserves to have their hat handed to them.

Hopefully, for their sake, the hat comes with a free bowl of soup.

for this year, first time starters in maiden claiming races at AQU are 2 wins from 58 attempts, .0345 percent.

straight maidens are even worse where firsters are 2 for 93.
