Smart Money sucks

good point.

I was trying to beat GC so it wasnt Americain, it would have been Gentleman Chester, Winchester or Colony and none of them could do it so in the end I was happy to only waste money using 1 of those horses instead of using all 4 of them, which I almost did. Americain was an insane win price at 7/2, but believe it or not his doubles were coming back great with anybody but that crazily bet Mott horse in the finale. Americain into Master was coming back $49 and I jumped all over it thinking it was pretty good value. Oh well, one of those chalk infested days that I just have to be thankful to show a modest profit on.

Was an ok idea to try to beat GC... I thought it was logical that Americain or Up2nGood would try and set as slow a tempo as they possibly could...

This plodder just won one of the world's biggest races in fairly impressive fashion. I guess they found the right trip for him.

If this thread bumping results in one of those self-help pyramids...

Whatever happened to Bobby Fischer?

He's probably on another forum tooting his own horn.
