Still excellent handicapping Rich. I will bet to place I need to have a "vulnerable" favorite, a horse with a big chance and 9-1 in the "to win" pool. Obviously, you cut your return down if the horse wins and all the money isn't on him, but on high odds horses vanity in my ability has stung me. I wish I had perfecta boxes for all the stone cold perfectas I lost in my life where the finishing order flipped. The Belmont last year for example. My theory is you have to respect the higher odds horse when you factor him. You have to give yourself a chance to cash if he is not quite up to them or is luckier than you thought he would be. Now if I could only remember that on 'superhorses'...lol
Marwood paid 15 bucks to place. Zakocity almost 11-1 is what i recall.
