Overlays that got away??

I think Midnight Lutes second BC win at Santa Anita is. I remember telling my friend all week I though he would be even money or 4-5 just because of Baffert and how he was simply much better then Street Boss. I think he was 5-2 or 2-1. Not a crazy one, but still....

In my opinion there is a very fine line between overlays and dead on the board, and you only know for sure which is which AFTER the race.

Bridgetown paying $8.20 yesterday was pretty generous, IMO.

Nearly every winning horse in at the 2007 BC. Every thing I lost at that year's cup was because I dismissed common sense horses and tried to get cute and find the huge score.

I agree about Barbaro. I narrowed that race down to him and another horse. I wont say the name its pathetic.

There's some truth to that. I've found myself saying both 'I can't believe that horse paid that much' and 'No wonder his odds were so high' in the same day.

Expansion Saturday in Fair Grounds Handicap. 32-1 for Assmussen after being competitive against graded company for quite awhile. I had him in exactas with 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th place finishers but tossed eventual favorite and 2nd place finisher, Sleepless Knight. Got nosed out of $301 for a dollar exacta and had nothing to win on him....
