He could easily pay 7 or 8 bucks for show. With a $200 wager, that's a return of $700 or $800. Not a bad payday.
Dullahan lost all chance when he got boxed in and shuffled back. Not a good enough horse apparently to overcome that particular hitch and glitch in the running of the race.
Street Life needed a faster pace I guess to close off of, but still managed a fourth place finish. I was glad to see URags win, and to see it done EXACTLY the way Smith and Baffert were beaten in the Derby and Preakness. Once more going out on the front end, Smith and Baffert got run down in the final yards, in the first two races by IHA, and in this one by UR, playing the role of IHA. I saw URags in his stable on the NBC coverage
and emailed a friend “He looks so vibrant, almost unreal, like a computer graphic. I KNOW he will win!”
Unfortunately I had him on too few super tickets on top, but I had Dullahan also and Street Life and the 20-1 shot,
Atigun too and Paynter. Dullahan screwed up all my tickets, but those are the breaks. I was suprised there were no superhuge longshots, as in Belmonts past. I think that was because with IHA out, no one could feel bad by betting against him , and there was no excitement in betting on UR or Dullahan or Paynter, so instead they spread a little more money around on the hopeless longies.
