Tough beat
I nominate myself for tough beat of the day. After hitting a place bet for $4.20, I had $10 riding on a 6-1 shot ridden by Calvin Borel in CD's 12th race. The horse nearly wins and I'm grateful I bet "place" instead of win when my horse comes up a head short of a 15-1 shot, but still 4 lengths clear of third.
I figure I'm good for at least a $6 place payoff, but Borel gets DQ'd for allowing his mount to bump the third horse into the hedge and I lose the bet.
