Refusing the entry of a horse because it is hopelessly too slow is a total load of crap.
Last I checked - it wasn't called the Wood Memorial Invitational.
Very cheap first-time-starter Olympic Chief for Janet Davidson was 50.30-to-1 against Curlin in the Arkansas Derby .. after opening up at about 20/1.
Rick's Natural Star was 56-to-1 after a year plus layoff in the Breeders Cup Turf after running dead last in 3 consecutive 2,500 claiming races at Ruidoso Downs.
This horse would have been under 100/1.
