Curlin carries 132 lbs

[Lost Cause]

Imperialista quits at shorter distances consistently. Why do you think he would do better stretching out?  A fresh Curlin will be anxiuos to run close to the lead so he probably won\'t get away from them...

Did this race run yet?  Anyone know the results??

The lines I have seen of 3/5 and 4/1 don\'t show much value but 1/10 and 15/1, you might have to think about it.

Curlin jogged to an easy win.

Imperilista didn\'t get away and folded again. Not a suprise, just the only way I could see the big hos getting upset.

I just got $9.40 to place on the 4 horse.

The money is in my account.

there was no show pool. they are paying out $81.40 to place for a horse that finished third.

a mistake somewhere.

I don\'t think it\'s a mistake.

Last I was in England - many years ago - there was not W-P-S betting, only win & place, with \"place\" being anywhere in the first 3 or (I think) 4 finishers, depending upon how many starters were in the race.

Typical bet would be X to be bet \"both ways\", meaning the total bet was 2X and the bets were - in our understanding - for win and for show.

That is the way the Euros bet place, but it does not explain how in a 6 horse field with a 1/5 shot winning and a 7/2 shot finishing second and 40/1 finishing third, that the place payout would be
2.10
9.40
81.40
Notice that the 2nd and 3rd payouts are their approximate win odds. This has got to be a computer error. I don\'t think someone loaded up the place pool on a 25/1 shot.

[magicnight]

You are correct. That makes no sense. I\'m not even sure they would pay for 3rd in a six-horse field. [obv, didn\'t read the string very closely] Perhaps they posted the win payoffs by mistake, per your point about them being in line with win odds.

I\'m stuck in Youtube and can\'t get out! Here\'s the video of Curlin\'s prep. Scary! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o63051ThX6Y
