It's so pointless to bet these odds-on favorites. If I like a horse that is going off at 1-2 odds like that horse, I would pass the race. There is no way you are going to make money over time betting on 1-2 shots. Even if you hit 6 out of every 10 of these bets, you would still lose money. It's a losing proposition.

maybe steve could make a 'seattles losing bets temper tantrum' room, and he could go there with these inane threads instead of polluting the paddock...

hey, we need a shovel in here! add this to the compost heap.

When a first-time starter is composed enough to run down a clear, odds-on favorite like that - I give credit to the quality of the horse...

This was a 3-horse race all the way to me:

The expensive FuPeg baby for Kimmel, obviously Zito's colt and the winner - WHO IS OUT OF MAYBE THE HOTTEST BROODMARE IN THE INDUSTRY RIGHT NOW...Sassy Pants has not one - BUT TWO FREAKS to race!...Madcap Escapade was a freak and now Dubai Escapade might be even better - but they are two of the fastest fillies along with Xtra Heat that we may have seen in the last 10 years - both from the same dam....

So don't blame Prado and Zito...if their colt was that special he would have won already in three starts IMO....I know that Real Estate is only a High Yield, but he is a 3/4 brother to 'Madcap' - so he has right to be a runner....when you are a baby running in MSW at Belmont this time of year - there is a VERY good chance that you're going to hook some horses with very high profiles and all of the ingrediants to be top class - and that is exactly what Most Distinguished hooked....I wasn't surprised by the outcome...I boxed the 3 I mentioned in an Exacta

If we could grow some mushrooms in that compost, we might make enough money to cover the bad bets.
