Title: Another Longshot??
Post by: Lost Cause on April 01, 2012, 04:54:11 PM

It\'s been a parade of longshots at FairGrounds..I\'m hoping it continues.  Going to try Afford at 50/1.  1st race stretching out was real good and then went rank in the next one..Good luck everyone!!

\"Bandit Racing\" at it\'s finest. They don\'t even try to hide it.

It was a tough couple of sequences..I actually checked to see how much an all X all X all X all was and then tried to single up on one leg...wish I pulled the trigger but then all the faves would have won  :)  I never felt comfortable in any race with throwing out anyone..tough day

Louisiana has been the horse racing capital of Inexplicable Longshots for as long as I\'ve been in the game. \"Bandit Racing\" is merely a nice way of saying \"F*cking Thieves\".

Dunno, thieves would be if impossible horses were winning at reduced odds.

 So would these winners be paying EVEN MORE if not for the huge scores being made?

With a 1 million dollar purse in play, you don\'t need the mutuel pool. Don\'t overthink it.

Considering the winning connections, I\'d lean toward Putin.
