Dreaming of Anna, for reference is 100-1.

I will take action on either of these horses for anyone interested. I'll give you 500-1 on The Monkey and 100-1 on Anna.

ha! i'd almost be tempted to take a shot on Anna, but not with any significant amount of money -- and it would just be a homer bet, not a realistic deduction from handicapping.

i just find it insane that the undefeated and untested 2YO filly champion is a longer shot than an overpriced horse who has never started and is currently relaxing on a farm somewhere.

Really should be 5000-1 !

Who? Anna or the Monkey? I hope you mean the Monkey.

If I had bigger pockets I'd be betting Anna in future wagers -- but I won't get to Vegas, and will have a hard time getting someone to take action on her for $20

Right! I just think that if she has a productive Spring, she's got the kind of connections that would throw her into the mix in the Derby instead of the Oaks. Calabrese is one gutsy dude, and even if she could hit the board in the Derby her residual value would skyrocket, wouldn't you think? Once she's in the gate for the Derby, anything can happen. That'd be worth a wager for me.

However, I wouldn't wager on the Monkey with m worst enemy's money right now -- it's simply impossible.
