I stand abjectly chastised by this result.  I could not have been more wrong about this race.  The only silver lining is that, If i have to be wrong, i want to be wrong because a 6-5 shot won.  But man, before the race, that horse sure did not look like it belonged to be 6-5.

Before the race I saw it substantially the way you did (and bet accordingly).

After the race I feel substantially the way Frank D. did after Belmont Day re Baffert/not betting on horse races anymore, or at least not very often (and did on that day for the same reason).

I am very interested to see what figure Uni earned.
