Another place-and-show bonanza, given the overwhelming activity in the win pool.<\/p>\n
Probably the win pool in the Classic wasn’t a reflection of the true probability of winning, but you knew there weren’t any souvenir-chasers in the backholes.<\/p>\n
Indeed, there was a positive-expectation calculation of better than 1.20 to place, and better than 1.15 to show.<\/p>\n
Safe money, ‘tho the way it unfolded, it was a nailbiter for the first 100 seconds or so.<\/p>\n
‘gratz to the Blame. Nice horse there. Instantly becomes the answer to a trivia question, just like Upset became in regards to Man o’ War.<\/p>\n
