The wagering aspect doesn't make any horse in the race more likely to win, though. Curlin could go off at 1,000-1 odds or 1-1,000 odds and it won't make a ticky's worth of difference how he runs his race. The weight assignments are to give each of the horses a better shot at winning. All the odds are is the betting public's opinion of who is going to win.

I bet Albarado is thinking, "Score! I get to eat lunch!"
