I Want Revenge...To Lose!
How is anybody gonna make any money with a crappy payout like 3-1? Those are the odds for I Want Revenge to win. To really rack up on your bets, take a longshot like Mr. Hotstuff at 30-1 odds. Mr. Hotstuff? How the hell do you NOT take him?
Plus, he'll be wearing white with stars! Woohoo! Ok, I'm not really looking at a 30-1 horse to win at Churchill Downs, but he does have a great name. If I were a betting man, I'd be homeless. I kid...kinda. No, if I were a betting man, my hard-earned cash would be put on a beast named Hold Me Back.
Sure, at 15-1 odds, he's a long shot, but Hold Me Back is being ridden by Kent Desormeaux, who's a three time Kentucky Derby winner, and I love the middle of the road guys: not 2-1 and not 40-1. Also, he's in the 5th lane, whatever that might matter.
So if you win, you can send me some finder's $$, and if you lose, you can always say Hold Me Back, Mr. Hotstuff! I Want Revenge! Heh, you just called me Mr. Hotstuff.
