You're going to encourage him?

Please lets us know when you get "facts" from offshore books.

No one said it was successful. But if you put the known facts together, reasonable people (yes, I am afraid you are off this train already) can draw reasoned inferences.

Induction--a modern day miracle, I know.

Yeah, I'm unreasonable.

It happening on a 1/5 shot that won by 16.5 lengths is highly suspicious.

This was a horse that could not lose without falling down.

Another mere coincidence--you must disregard that fact. Please await facts from the offshore books, those will resolve the issue. Of course if those facts don't show up--is that even POSSIBLE?--then no conclusions of any kind can be drawn. Act as if nothing happened. And if happens again, that won't happen, either. In fact, it already didn't.

This is very bizarre.

If it is a computer glitch -- it's an expensive one.

Very few people, if any, could get down for that much money with books at Thistle to make a profit out of that situation.

I know a guy who was leading owner year in and year out on the So. Cal circuit -- and I recall he told me he could beat Mountaineer for as much as $50,000 in a race with just one mysterious book. He was claiming horses like Repole of the West at one time though -- and I'm sure a book would only allow themselves to be slaughtered by him in a race at a small track because having him as a client was to their benefit.

It looks like computers though -- they're a menace with the way they move odds late. Bodemeister got crushed late by them in both the Ky Derby and Preakness this year. Sweetnorthernsaint got hammered to Ky Derby favortisim in the last mintue the one year. The Monarchos/Invisible Ink entry got creamed late in the Fla Derby. Many examples even into the teeth of massive sized win pools.
