Icabod Crane

I Refuse To Bet Big Brown Because I Think He Should Have Been Given Time Off To Heal Naturally. Not Wire Suetures(clothes Hanger) 6 Days Before Race Or Fiberglass Patch (duct Tape) One Day Before Race. Everyone Enjoy The Race

So you think those three horses will finish ahead of BB?

yeah but i'm going to miss the wagering lectures from people who make 2-3 bets a year and clearly have no clue what they're doing.

you missed the key point.

though they only bet 3-4x/year, they apparently win most of those bets.

i think we have much to learn.

not necessarily.

my read is he's mad the connections treated the horse instead of letting nature take it's course. because apparently untreated 1/4 cracks turn out so well. so he won't bet on him.

that should teach the connections a lesson they won't soon forget.

If Big Brown has no problem with foot he should win,however I think it will give him problems, so with a small investment I'll try to make a small windfall
and have something bet on the race. Tale of Ekati has two wins over the track and carried 126 lbs earlier so I think he is next best, a horse for course.

I wasn't going to say anything - but 6 of the 10 horses have carried 126 lbs. before - that's the weight that colts carry in the triple crown - and it's pretty much irrelevant. TofE's 2 wins at the track were in sprints - which he is much better suited for.
