I have it narrowed to 4, and the longest odds will get the money.
I hope Curlin blows them away though. He does look very, very good. And I want to see a very good horse again. I mean can you imagine if he actually won the TC in stunning style, and then took on a once beaten Invasor in the BCC. Would be great for racing, in the short term anyway. What a day that would make. To dream...

How sound is the reasoning when you want bet the horse you think will win just because of his odds? Isnt it better to figure how to bet him to get the best return. Multi race, multi horse, or a large bet straight up win place or show. Betting a loser with longer odds is a losing proposition. If you think a longer odds horse is the winner, thats another proposition.Pick the winner and make the best bet according to the odds.Im sure I will have some bets with and without Curlin but he want be eliminated because of his odds . Only the type of bet I make on him.
