Normally I would let this drop. But the guy screamed and ranted that I'd made a horrible line, even insisting I had failed in my duty to the public. And he kept proclaiming at the top of his lungs that no hope Bourbonic, a deep-closer whose flukey Wood upset merited zero respect, and whose triple crown participation and subsequent rest in no way fit our race, would not only go favored, but take the wv derby. I took exception, strongly defending my installation of Mr Wireless as the favorite and characterizing the horse as most probable winner.
I was proven correct and him wrong on every point . His end of the wager now requires him to strap on a freaking clown mask and LEAVE the thing on for a full week's worth of podcasts. I think it's fair to say that my line was very accurate:
Morning Line .............. Closing Odds
Bourbonic 3-1 .................... (7/2)
Kinectic Sky 6-1 ................. (5-1)
Bourbon Thunder 8-1 ........... (7-1)
Mr Wireless 9/5 * ................ (8/5*)
Warrant 5/2 ........................ (9/5)
Americaine 50-1 .................. (90-1)
Special note: The late scratch of a 10-1 ML chance no doubt slightly lowered the odds of several potential contenders.
