Footnote; race #5 at Belmont today even though I had the win, exacta and trifecta. I cannot believe the results stood without #3 Dear Marylou coming down. I was pissing and moaning when I saw the inquiry and I must admit that was a pretty severe infraction.
The problem with the bet is longshots are not worth any more than favorites. If your smart 20-1 runs 2nd, but the 1/5 shot clunks up for 3rd, you don't have an edge.

Glad you made a nice hit today- but I stand by my belief that the bet sucks.
