Mut - Good information thank you. I would like to offer an alternative theory on the Gulfstream race. Look at the connections and trace both the ownership group and the trainer backwards in time to a great guy now with a near lifetime ban and his dad who has a lifetime ban. Not saying these are bad people or that they are cheaters, good horsemen know how to create successful and legal paths for their horses to flourish. But most everyone in the know is savvy how to keep that money from appearing until the last flash. It isn't necessarily heavily programmatic betting bots wrecking the havoc. That is parimutuel wagering - love it or not. You obviously do. I like it when I own a horse I like is running and a program flips me up in odds - they are not always right. Keep up the great work and don't bet too often against Richie in races where your eyes tell you they have the better prepared horse, they probably do.

Thank you!! I disagree about Getaway Car, the Lukas horse was a monster and disposed of Getaway Car bearing the 5/16 and took his heart but despite that he battled on and was with 3 or 4 horses right there for the show spot. Winner won by 7 1/2 I think but it was visually impressive being there!! GC is a small thing reminded me of Da Hoss who I schooled on the gate at Fair Hill for Michael Dickinson!! Keep cashing not trashing
