Still taking credit for a mis-step at the break?
But I thought u backed Perfect Dread? Some handicapping strategies are easy to articulate. For instance: "I don't play publically acclaimed favorites". No real thought involved. You wager stictly upon a premise that even if the favorite wins the odds will be too low to warrant wagering upon that favorite. So you toss most all 6-5 horses and wager on those with big chances. Horses like Perfect Dread. Oh sure I think he was better than he showed, but who really thought he had a prayer to get 12 marks with courage at the end?
No Superman, we both lost the Belmont, my horse just always had a bigger chance than yours is all. And as I've said before, if I had actually WON the Belmont, I wouldn't be taking credit for a good horse missing the paying spots due to a gate mishap. I'd just say thank you Turf Gods and leave it at that. Oh, but wait...I didn't win the Belmont...lol.
I'm certain others don't want to know your wagers, but tell us what big favorites are you taking shots at today? It's an odds based thing.
lol
