We have a guy in California that claims he was the underbidder on virtually every horse that accomplishes anything.

Seems fantastic to me but he insists it's true.

That does remind me though of a time I caught a California King snake when I was twelve years old. He was a big one, and when I caught him, he bit me, the only time I've ever been bit by a King snake.

I decided to name him Nebuchadnezzar.

Two days later he laid six eggs.

Very solid work for a horse not bred to be a freakish 2yo. His success at 2 in spite of the breeding indicates quality. He had (and has still) a very smooth efficient stride. The pedigree is very deep with stamina yet he shows high quality speed, presumably from the Distorted Humor on top.

I don't think he meant to say this, did he? I don't bet sports, honestly have no idea but I would think plus 700 means you get 7-1, which is a horrible sucker bet in my mind.

He had to have been confused and clearly wrote it backwards. If casinos could get those kind of odds on every prop then they wouldn't be looking to replace sports books with slot parlors.

Yeah, I was going to comment on that too. That was the highlight of a pretty ridiculous article.

If hes Plus 700, each 10 is 70. If hes minus 700 each 70 is 10.
