Don't expect those $200 show bets to be that good very often going forward, of course.

Go buy yourself a nice filet and bottle of wine and and enjoy.

I'm pulling for you in the inquiry.

If they place Global Hunter 2nd, it'll get you quite a bit more $$.

I don't see how that happens. They split the show pool into 3 equal parts, then divide the thirds by the number of show tickets on each horse (after takeout, of course). Same 3 horses in the money, same show prices, no matter how they scramble them.

Yep, Pedigree Ann, you're exactly right. I was too busy typing instead of thinking!

I actually was meandering to "place" bet thoughts, of course.

Bobby Fischer is sssssssooo jealous.

This wasnt a 2-5 shot. He was 30-1. I would have been stupid to go WPS cause it was a tough field to win. I bet him cold for Show cause I knew he will run HIS best race yet. I will take my $600 profit and buy me a watch.

Nice call on both the horse and the bet!
