You aren't serious, are you? The 1-2 favorite had a career-high Beyer of 71, while Sciacca's horse ran a 69 in his last race, and you're insinuating that funny money made him 4-1?

I hated him at that price, and it cost me a nice pick 4 (other 3 winners were A's for me), but funny business? Sciacca? What, he fed him some pasta fagioli?

Brutal. Had $5 p3's to both, so similar payoffs ($500 to Benny, about 3 dimes to MoD)

Nothing against Benny, who's a nice horse and I like him a lot, but 1/2 was tough to swallow off the Dubai trip.
