Wide open indeed. My horse went off at 8-1, came out sideways, was moving nicely along the rail in the backstretch, when needing to pull up badly because the #2 in front of him freakishly almost went to his knees. I lost all chance right there.
But the race did pay nicely for someone who could see through the maze. The odds of the first four finishers were:
8-1
6-1
15-1
8-1
Rip for me.
+19.70 - 12.00 = +7.70
(+ $7.70)
