What are you basing this assertion on?

p.p.s Aidan--What's this about FOUND being entered in the Classic?
Quote from: stark on October 23, 2016, 08:58:58 AMAgree with you on CC. The no show wagering thing goes over my head.
Knowing that you don't make show wagers, perhaps your question was more about my comment of CHROME opening at 1/5 on the board?
Even though we all make our own numbers and we all do our own handicapping, the sport in total is dependent on the public handicappers, the experts if you will, who write and predict the winners in print then the toteboard is a mere reflection. Maybe it's the DRF featuring Brad Free, Analyst, Sweep, Privman and others, or maybe it's the Courier-Journal where they get 'em all, Bredar, Joe, Jerry, Mary et al, maybe it's Johnny and Tara that catch your ear, or maybe its NYRA where Andy and Ernie post their picks, maybe its Gordon Jones at his P6 club meeting, maybe its Ubercapper and the Equibase gurus, maybe its the editors at Brisnet, maybe its Bruno with the workouts, maybe its Beyer himself, maybe it's TVG and a couple of 'em making a single in the classic on their P4 tickets, whatever wherever you see information, I think it's going to be a near unanimous decision of picking CHROME on top, hence the 1/5. Once that number pops up on the screen, there will no doubt be some players looking elsewhere for value, but 3/5 should be about the maximum when the bell rings.
Have you seen any "expert" publicly picking somebody other than CHROME to win?
p.s. I was going to say 1/9 but I thought that'd really silly to predict, what say you for opening odds on raceday?
Maybe Jon White checks in here and can contribute!

Quote from: Raven on October 23, 2016, 05:36:31 AMI haven't placed one since 1986. It used to be show wagering was only cancelled when there were less than 5 wagering interests. Now it happens more often and to be fair, NYRA isn't the only culprit.
I stand corrected
In 42 years of horse playing I've never placed a show bet.

I thought Mor Spirit out worked him, it didn't seem the rider ever moved on him.
Arrogate sure did catch up quick, do you think he'll come from off the pace?

Sounds to me the workout guru Bruno agrees with you!

The Arrogate and Mor Spirit work on 10/18 was absolute beauty to watch, and once again for an average eye, who beat who, is all they see

Are they looking to retire Keen Ice so they will give him one more shot?
