Then of course, half your tracks make you pay for parking, then your little programs and Racing Form, another $10, so by the time you actually go bet the race your already down $50 with gas and the BS expenses, at 1/2 you have to bet $300 to win on Big Brown just to break even. Oh yeah,,,,,,,that's a smart bet,,,lol

They better hope Big Brown wins. With the public already on the edge concerning racing, if they want ANY fan base AT ALL, they had better have there 1/2 horse win,,,,,,and win easy,,,just to save there sports face if nothing else. Giving out .10/$1 bet might keep some people going to the track at all. Don't worry, there is another race after the Preakness that the track can take it back and put that dime back into there pockets. You either try to hit the Superfecta or you stay home and watch it on TV, only a fool or a rich man who cares little of his money would bet that horse to win at those odds. BORING and very little payout,,,,hey horse racing, it costs more in gas to get to the track to bet it than the potential to win any cash on the Preakness. Then of course, half your tracks make you pay for parking, then your little programs and Racing Form, another $10, so by the time you actually go bet the race your already down $50 with gas and the BS expenses, at 1/2 you have to bet $300

Report This! The bigger question is, what horse will fall and need to be euthanized on the track.

Of course, Brown, will win it.... Why? He has the heart, the jockey (hopefully) and he showed so much at the finish -last time out- that it's a win by a neck. Now, that's what Brown, will do for you.....LOL
