I had Proud Spell on top but I expected a different order of finish
if I bet Proud Spell flat
she would jump a puddle and dump her rider

Good stuff. I made my bets earlier in the day at the OTB, and was kicking myself when I saw her at 7/2! I thought she'd be 3/2 or 2/1 at the highest!

jerry Bailey said her jock wasnt wearing enough goggles which caused the spike in the price

This is one of those things that just doesn't make sense, I agree.

EVERYONE loved this horse. YET she still pays 3:1.

Now, THAT's VALUE!!!

Locks are paying $8.80 and people are bitching about the takeout being too high.

Go figure.

In reading people's selections, I don't see all that many people loving her. Now, after she romps, everyone's wondering how she was that price.

It was a wide open race. She just ran 3rd in her last race. She was going against the highly regarded (and probably overhyped) Country Star, Little Belle, BSharp, and Pure Clan.

Now...why wouldn't she go off at 3-1 or higher?? That is a good looking field to me.

Yeah yeah I'm just saying it doesn't matter how much money you have on it just as long as you have the winner.

Only hoping I got the winner. I've got her to about 7 or 8 of them. Who do you like tomorrow? Who do you have running on the undercard?
