Very bad rule. Think about it...o.k...You either already have the post time favorite on your ticket, or you deliberately were playing against it. I can't see why you would ever want the post time favorite (you either already had it, or never wanted it.) In this case, why would you want 2-1 or less on these people? What have they won this year together? 3 races out of almost 50 races they've tried to win? When exactly is the guy who owns Southern Equine gunna fire Hines and Guillot? That horse look ready to win? Uh, no...3 million dollar horse that these 2 can't get to run. To tell ya the truth, after the 7 horse, I really had no opinion on the race. Don't want to bet it. Give me a consolation (even if it's poor.) Scav, I am actually sorta relieved though. Me n' my pops went 4 deep in the 1st leg, and dat fkn 1st timer beat us from the 1 hole. Was alive for 8 pick fives going to the 7 in the last race(wouldn't of paid **** though.) To get them, I would of had to see the 7 key a p6 I should of had twice(5k.) I think the 7 would of won. I barely beat it last time with that Commander horse. So, leaving off that Koriner cost us about $230 (a couple pick 5)instead of 5k. When that fkn rail horse beat me, I broke a big ceramic mug (ugly scene.) I know how to do it though. You make it look like you are throwing it at the wall, but you aim it at hard floor just in front of the wall. It explodes before it gets to the wall. You just gotta pick the mess up. Family wasn't a fan of it. Reserve it for friends of the same ilk.

I had to explain this to my brother once and he was
absolutely pissed because we set up his ticket for his scratched
horse to be one of the longshots in a later leg along with the favorite.

He won some money but he risked way too much for the payout.
But at that point in the ticket he still had a chance for some
more serious money. It was very hard to explain. I thought he
would strike me over the cell phone.
