[QUOTE most importantly where would you play/bet this horse and with whom?[/QUOTE]
Any solid out that will pay full track odds and that wagering doesn't go into the pari-mutual pool for win, place, show, doubles, exactas, quinellas, trifectas, pick three, etc. If you feel the win, place, show odds are likely to be below the normal booking level of 20/1 to win, 8/1 to place, etc. and don't plan to wager on the exotics, then more book options exist.
Releasing it to the RX could affect your odds should the race be run at a small track with a small pool. Summer tracks like Saratoga and Del Mar with larger pools might, and I say might, alter your price somewhat. On the flip side, if one wanted to increase their odds, well you get the drift.
As to where I might play it on the WPS, WSEX and CRIS come to mind. There are many others. Just depends on your anticipated odds and what type of bets you want to make. Straights and/or exotics.

If it isnt in the first 2 betting you will get 3 times the odds on betfair regardless of the tote. Only snag is they tend to be losers, US racing is full of non-triers and the powers to be seem to accept it. Were not even talking about hooking them up cleverly, just fall back to an impossible position.

Since you post plays so infrequent and you feel strongly that this is a LIVE horse and want the RX members, posters and viewers to benefit, even though Wil commented that it belongs in the horse racing forum, perhaps this one instance he will understand that with such a short time frame of 10 minutes before post, the larger viewing audience would be in the Offshore Forum. Or, perhaps, the day of the race, a heads up that it is coming both in Offshore and the Horse Racing Forum and then posting the horse in both forums just before post time. Just a thought. What do you think Wil?
