CtC,

Very interesting what you say about the loyalty factor that we all have when it come to betting horses. The heart sometimes can be the deciding influence over the mind when making the final wagering decision.


When Silver Charm got to the Belmont I just passed on the race because he was not a good price. I felt there would be so much joy if he did win (ie-Triple Crown) that it would make up for any lost winning wagers.

--I just copied this from your other post and had to edit mine to add this in:

"I lost money, but Dang I'm more bummed this horse didn't win the Crown."

When Silver Charm lost I was depressed for a week. Seriously.


I actually bet Real Quiet in the Belmont ($50 to win at 4-5) because I wanted to see a Triple Crown winner after I had bet Victory Gallop in the Preakness. OUCH !!!

I did switch to EM in the Belmont but I only had Funny in the Preakness. I had TMW in the Derby, hey he might be a good race horse afterall, so my loyalty didn't run as deep as some of the rest of you guys.

If people out there bet Funny don't beat yourself up.

Funny will be back and this thing is far from settled with he and EM. This has the look of an Easy Goer/Sunday Silence. I want to go into this in much more detail but now is not the time.

I'm going to lay low for a couple of days because I have the feeling this Board will have more fireworks than the Manhatten harbor July 4th show.

I do want to raise the question of how in the world does Friedman come up when TMW when the only horse on Sheets he was faster than was Supervisor. He was slower than all the rest had a very bad Derby number and the guy says you shouldn't look at works, look at Sheets only.

Did he know something that he didn't share with the paying customer?
