You have to be able to forecast the odds correctly to determine that.

Had I posted "a pick" before the race .... I would have "picked" Elite Alex (who was 8/1 on the ML) versus Archarcharch (who was 12/1 on the ML)

That's really not even the reason why I don't bother posting picks .... it's because of the ankle-biting I put up with afterwards when one of them losses.

I see. You don't offer these words of wisdom because you don't know the odds. I'm assuming then you are too busy with 25 minutes to post to come on here and state your opinions before the race yet you have the time to find a chart from the 1896 Gazelle Stakes and cut and paste that to show how clever you are.

Come on Drugs. Don't you think you will be criticsized more for your rampant redboarding than being wrong. Everybody is wrong.

Unlike Lehman Brothers - I don't get paid one cent to post here. I do it for my own pleasure.

I post that type of stuff early in the morning or on Monday's and Tuesday's - if you haven't noticed.

Here's an old story I read though ....
