The horse was live on the board at about 4-1 but after seeing this I put a big X right thru that horse. Ran up the track and was not comfortable running any part of the race. Unfortunately, unless you are at the track and can see this, sometimes it's hard to pick up signs like this when watching simulcasts.

4RULES, BENNIE!! Hope you've been winning.
This is what I was speaking of...being on track. I've done this often at Saratoga, the first minute the horses step on the track. Like you say, it's sorta like a cat. You get the feeling, they're thinking, "nope, not today, folks".
