"I often bet horses who are not the most likely if the odds deserve it. Sarava definitely deserved it, as did MDO for that matter. I thought Perfect Drift was the likely winner, but at 5-1, there were better bets in the race."...... Another guy who bet Perfect Drift BEFORE THE RACE, then has Sarava and MDO as the best bets AFTER THE RACE. I especially love the "definitely deserved it" confidence for Sarava AFTER THE RACE. My friend, there were at least four on-line polls BEFORE THE RACE that gave us all a good indication of the odds. Now help me understand this, are you saying that you did not like Sarava at all on top when you thought he would be 50-1 or 60-1, but if you had only known that he would be 70-1, then the horse "definitely deserved" to be bet on top? Please stop this nonsense. I realize that "day before" handicapping contests do not prove a lot, and I am sure if we did it again next week, you could beat me and everybody else. I do, however, have a favor to ask for next time. If you are going to back away from your PRE RACE selections, and claim you loved the winners AFTER THE RACES, don't bother getting involved.
