Right now a field of 13 is expected. If she's less than 2-1 I'm playing against. She's an awesome filly and probably the best horse in the race, but she's faced nothing but muskrats this year. I'm pretty sure Papa Clem and Musket Man would look pretty good against Flying Spur and Stone Legacy too. Plus it would be a lot more fun to see her lose now that she's trained by Asshead.

5-2 with POTN a close 2nd, MTB will be over 8-1 at least with Papa, Musket ahead of him.

I can see 5 or 6-1, maybe 7-1 given the right circumstances, but OVER 8-1? I dunno.

I think this the thing to do... you bet against her as a gambler, root for her as a fan. I fully agree with running her in this spot, I'm a-okay with playing against her as well. If she wins, it's great for the game and you can take solace in that.

Agree. Over 8-1 and I'd bet him myself. Especially if it's raining.
