The only thing that I think is that something is wrong. Do the Pick 3 numbers look correct in any way to you? There was a total of $228 bet to win on this horse, and somehow 45 winning ($1) tickets had this horse to complete the Pick 3?

Strange things happen when the pools are small. There are a lot of alls in the third leg most likely, and most were alive after two chalks won early.

It was actually 2nd choice in the first leg and favorite in the 2nd leg. And even if someone chose to hit the all button, how many all tickets were they going to punch with not one but two overwhelming favorites in the race as the 2 (2:1 M/L) and 3 (3:1 M/L) both went off at 3/2? Especially when their 1st 2 legs were short priced horses?

So if your Pick 3 came back $315 with a 112:1 horse completing the wager you would be okay with it?

Oh, and by the way, he is a 6YO Maiden with over 20 races, who hadn't run since May, when he, from what I can gather, ran 7th.

I play a lot of small pool tracks, P3s included. This is not really out of the norm, that is all I'm saying.

you look at the PP's on that horse and just go..."what?"

I'm sorry, you can't tell me that there's no monkey business going on for a horse with that record and a 2% trainer who's run like 10 horses in his life....

I picked the 8...highly reasonable 2nd...that horse 1st....come on..

Which is exactly why he paid $200+.
