I was just going to post this - you beat me to it. Horse racing in reverse for the Triple Crown.

Edit - Hard to tell who will win - Belmont is the longest track and usually the last race, so easier to evaluate the performance of the top contenders in a normal year.

I'll go with Dr. Post

The race has been shortened due to the reversal

Didn't know that. Still hard to predict w/o the other two.

They just showed a clip of Smarty Jones at Belmont - that broke my heart.

The irony of Tiz the Law just dawned on me. I'm surprised someone isn't offended and insisting the name of the horse be changed.

the odds fell apart for my horse

[–] MonStar (11568) 4 years ago

The odds are based on actual bets. Since people lose money on the previous races, they tend to bet more on the long shots in the last race(es), in a misguided effort to make back what they lost.

I know

Jungle Runner dropped from 50-1 to 26-1. Hahahah!

Nice that the NY horse won. Mine came in 2nd place.
