I still think that you are supposed to bet against horses like Skylighter. It didn't prove correct in this instance, but you still have to take the long view. That being said, I would not have thought she'd be 4-1, so I guess you could have a different perspective than the one you would adopt if she had actually been the 5-2 or less that I thought she'd be.
No sway at all. I do something that alot of newer guys do I guess and that is take too many opinions and not trust my own sometimes. So I learned a bit more here and I thank you for your opinion. I wish some folks swayed some of my other opinions!!!! But it comes down to being fun. Thankfully I am not dependent on this. I'd be alot thinner.
