Interesting comments -- Pardon me for just piling on
1) Did anybody notice the odds drop on Giacomo in the Santa Anita Derby after the gate opened? Irrelevant now given that he lost, but possibly relevant on the other hand given that maybe somebody had special info on the bad 4-5 favorite (who, I might add, went up to Evens after the gate opened). I assume that the S.A.Derby has a pretty nice sized win pool, so it probably takes some coin to move prices at the end.
2) If High Limit wins the BG wire to wire, he reminds of three other derby horses. Air Forbes Won, a Baffert horse named Indian Charlie (I think), and a Charlie Hadry horse (I do not remember the horse's name -- maybe it was Private Terms?). I am not sure why I think this, but it sticks in my head. Maybe somebody else out here knows why.
3) Davidrex, nice message! I will try to be nicer. CH, apologies for slamming you.
