This is the same guy who declared on a pre-race handicapping show that there was no way in hell that Bayakoa could run fast on the lead (at old Gulfstream) and still beat the Eastern closers like Gorgeous. FYI

Gorgeous was a CA horse. FYI.

If you have to go back 20 years to illustrate that the guy could be wrong tomorrow, it's not saying much!

Zenyatta is now likely to be more horribly overbet than even before. So I learned that you must try to beat her or sit out the race. I actually sat out the Ladies Classic today, which preserved my gigantic $3 profit (thanks, She Be Wild). (Actually I had a casino Twin Q alive into the 9th race--it started with the 5th--but could only get one of my horses in the final half).

Damn BC also distracted me from betting the Ack Ack at CD--my 10-1 choice won, naturally.

No matter how good Zenyatta is, and she is way better than the 97's beyer has been giving her, you must bet against her in this race, its pure mathematics. She is going to be overbet from what I can see (I was sure wrong on how smart the public is) and her chances of winning are no where near 33% or so.

How about giving an opinion before the race instead of criticizing others for something that happened years ago.

So Andy Beyer has no creditability because of his opinion of a race 20 years ago?

And what qualifies Gorgeous as an Eastern filly?
