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.

Default I was mock playing and saw that result.....

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..
