Interesting "wager" against Big Brown

[banacek]

There's an ebay auction on right now for a pair of tickets to the Preakness - currently it is over $100. The interesting slant: If Big Brown loses you get all your money back!

Man,if I had the extra money I would out bid everyone knowing I was getting my money back. Well $100 is not bad at all but I mean if it gets to a extremely crazy high amount then I'm out.

How exactly do you "know" Big Brown is going to lose?

I'm betting on no better than 3rd. Not the competition hes against but hows he's going into the Preakness and how its going to be run.

Maaaybe a 2nd place finish,but I will go with 3rd here.

Remember Secretariat could'nt lose the Whitney and Slew could'nt lose the Swaps,etc etc. Man O War got beat by a nag. It happens when things do not go right.

Man O War didn't get beat by a "nag." Upset was a very good colt who would've been a champion in an year except Big Reds.

But, certainly, he wasn't even close to Man O War's level.:eek:

I'm betting on no better than 3rd.Literally, or figuratively? If you're looking to book that lay action, the line forms behind me...

I wrote "nag" in jest of what big Man O War fans say(here and other places) about Upset winning. He was a decent horse. Yeah not close to Man O War,but a solid one.

The real nag he ran against was when he won the Realization by 100.

Steve,I do not want to make you go bankrupt.
