4) Win money ($245)

Total of $500
So assuming you hit all of those, by my math, that's approx. $8,400 on a $500 bet... not too bad.

I have to be honest in that I hope Andy talks about how he played it because I don't think alot of people know how to actually play a horse that they love, or get worthwhile information on. Matter of fact, I screwed up this weekend with Much Obliged, I should have crushed her, crushed that race matter of fact, and I got a measley win bet on her.

i kicked myself for not using this horse, and that had nothing to do with Beyers numbers. it has everything to do with it being a real crappy field that anyone could beat. i looked at it a few times but then let it go. after the first quarter I knew I was dead. it was a costly mistake for me.

How could it have had anything to do with Beyer numbers?

I figured in a $2 Pick 4 and not a $1... At that number, I agree the win bet seems to make the most sense.
