a tough race to cap ?mudders day?

[docslep]

i'm an occasional horse capper, and i hate the paramutual system. you cap the race, play a decent longshot (or so you think) and by the time the race goes off, the longshot becomes a fav. theres no way to anticipate what odds your're gonna get, unlike mlb, where the odds you take are the odds you get (am i making sense?)

anyway, today with 20 horses is very tricky. my angle will be to pray for a wet track, and look for a longshot who is a good mudder. try to get a speed horse with large hooves, is what i'm told.
a little bird whispers "nowhere to hide" might be a nice one, 52-1 now, but prolly will be 9-2 by post time. this sport makes me crazy, which is why i rarely bet the horses. but for a few big races, nice to have a little action. any other longshot mudders you can find?

480 wet mark he highest I have seen.

and the post above mine says he "has no chance whatsoever" may be worth a crazy shot???@)

maybe a nice throw in in a triple box, for shits and giggles, which is all my horsey bets anyway.

but you gotta admit, even for the very casual horse better, post time @ the big 3 races when you have a few cents on the race is f'in exciting. still the most exciting 2 minutes in spots, wdyt?

when i hit birdsong as a 39-1 shot (i believe the preakness a few years ago) probably rivals any other memory i've had in sports. in ny, we bet otb, and its very cool getting paid in cash @ the window the man laying some cash in your palm is f'n priceless:toast: a ritual all bettors need to experience:cripwalk:
