And the best news is that Life In Shambles, the horse that was claimed, but not claimed, because she was sold back to the original owners, and sent back to the original trainer, was claimed again. This time by, guess who? Our favorite trainer, Jason Servis.

I am as skeptical of Servis' win % as the next guy. Servis won a 3-4 way shake for Life in Shambles I believe. I had a decent win bet on Firenze and I figured at worst it would be 5-1. Was 1/2 watching as I was working around the house, was in disbelief when I saw the 5/2 odds, but the last I had checked was with 3 minutes to go until midway through the race, did not realize it was pretty much after the gate opened that the bettor was actually able to see those odds at 5/2.
Crazy that whoever placed the big bet on Firenze was probably within 1 second or two of getting closed out
