After scratches the 8-1 ML was obviously a pipe dream, but figured 3-1 was a lot more likely a price, I could not believe this horse was bet like an even money shot in every single pool back & forth. My first thought when the race was over was if horses like this go off & win at even money, it will be impossible to ever make money in this game. Had some obvious angles, but that was some betting like the race had been run already.
Of course we all notice when the money like this is right, on the flip side I saw some other favorites who I thought were insanely overbet at GP in the last few days who didn't run a step. I see more inexplicable odds at GP than any other major meet in the country, don't know why they have such a hold on craziness in many ways but seems that they do.
