The explanation given at the sale was that they intended to put a reserve of 1.19 million, essentially selling for 1.2 million or more. Instead the reserve was given to Keeneland accidentally as 1.9, the bid was ran up to that amount without any live money bidding the last few bids.

Several potential bidders were caught a little off guard because they had been told the reserve was going to be 1.2.

Since we have a day off from the Spa, thought I would see if I can get some insight from a few. I think most everyone would agree that the difference in being a great handicapper or just another degenerate is the gambling side of the game, how to turn your opinions of how the race will play out into the correct wager. I know there are 1000\'s of different situations probably that would require a different wager based on the circumstances.

I know this is probably just basic for some of you guys but I sometimes find myself wondering about different horizontal situations. Let\'s just say you hit the first leg of a pic 4, is there any situation that you would then play a DD or Pic 3 the next race.

Do you generally just ride out the pic 4 until it bust, or say after you have hit the 1st and 2nd leg then would you consider making a pic 3 wager. Are there times where you hit the first two legs of a pic 4 and then play some type of DD as a saver?

Are there any true winners in the game that strictly play caveman style tickets only.

Sorry if this is not an appropriate discussion here but it is the part of the game that puzzles me the most and has me second guessing myself more often than not.
