Boat race @ Philly?
The last race yesterday @ Philly, Doublethestyle pays $127 finishing 7f's in a slow 127.1 by 5 lgs. His form was dreadful, other horses had finished 7f two seconds faster, and the last race on a card is usually when a race would be "boated up". What say you?

lamboguy won a maiden 12,500 there by 11 + lengths with a horse that a leading rider said would be lucky to make it around the track 2 more times.... so i guess anything is possible.

"Boat" races don't usually feature $127 win payoffs...AND $1,000+ exactas.
If the exacta payoff was in the $250 range (like in a similar race at Calder not too long ago)...I might agree with you.

If it were a boat race, those in on it forget to bet.

Never let the facts get in the way of a good story. Rumor has it the bookies in Greece took a bath and are looking for a bailout.

boat race.....sort of a fixed race where one horse is let go to an early easy lead and sails home.
tomato can.....an weak opponent who will be easily defeated.
