Let's Make Things Interesting (A Proposal)

That is the big kicker in the deal IMO....if we can make a provision that those three horses that you mentioned have to be in the starting gate that day or the bet is null and void, then I may give you some action...

Keep this in mind, you are essentually offering .66 - 1 odds by your proposal, which is not exactly "giving away" money by any means....hell, Bernardini and Invasor (depending on how they run against each other in the JC Gold Cup) will be even-money and 7/2 or more, realsitically...and Lava Man will be around 4-1 or more IMO (early forecasts) - thus if i used $1,500 to bet these horses to WIN tactfully based on their odds, I would bet $1000 to win on Bernardini and $250 to WIN on both Invasor and Lava Man at around 4-1 - creating value with my $1,500 capital that you would win and I would be in a less risky position than you are right now having those horses in the gate GUARANTEED to me....

Plus, I think Bernardini is going to win the race anyway, so if I bet him on his nose I think I can get a price better than .66 - 1 anyway, or at least take my chances......
