Ralph, >>More Than Ready hanging on best of the front runners (one of my four) hints again of being a very good horse at shorter distances.<< I think he's a good one. I hope they don't ruin him but I think they will take a shot at the Preakness considering a lot of the other speed may stay home. The mathematics of place and show actually work out better with low priced horses. If you bet a longshot to show for example, if the favorite comes in with him, it destroys all the value of the selection and reduces his price. The Derby show pools are usually very distorted. A horse that pay $6.60 to win shouldn't pay $4.00 to show. $3.00 or so is more like it. And this was the worst possible payoff because the entry got 3rd. He could have paid $4.60 or more if another horse came in with him. I made a few small win bets on longshots (field, Anees, Captain Steve) and a large show bet on the favorite so I made money on the race. Wayne
