That's just about my feelings too Jason, concerning the price, but I'm with your friend on feelings
of how good the horse is, and that's the only reason I am pretty confident about it. Normally in a
race such as this, there's no way I'd be touching a horse as short as that.
Nice to know someone who knows about the horse actually agrees with me though, and it just adds
confidence to my thoughts, although it won't make me increase my bet.:o)
If anyone is looking for a downside to the horses chances, it could be that the lay off, 45 days,
may be against him, but I can't see it.
