SAR 8 - #6 Safari Queen [this I'll prob back up for place, as the distaff equines in general don't quite have the will to win and the consistency of the males. There are, of course, prominent exceptions) ML 7-2

PHI 9 - #11 Smart Enough ML 4-1

PHI 10 - #9 Cowtown Cat (a million dollar purse, and they still can't get any of the really top 3 year olds, just no respect! How many Million $ purses do you see in a Grade 2 Stakes?) ML 4-1

DMR 8 - #8 Chadlington (this guy was scratched out of a similar race a few weeks ago,and has a nice work tab since, and good new trainer) ML 12-1

California's mutuel takeout - around 15.4 % straight, 20 % exotic -used to be the lowest in the land for major circuits.
Now, other states, like New York, have lower grabs.

The "take" is what makes horse racing hard to beat - and why offshore bookies are more generous with horse players (big rebates) than with sports bettors. And, of course, they can lay off any big bet they're uncomfortable with.
