1) Cracked hoof. If it isn't a big deal why didnt he practice for three days this week?
2) Post position. Being #1 is far worse than #20 because he could get bogged down at the rails. This means he'll have to get off to faster start to avoid getting trapped by other horses.
3) No steroids. Without roids he's an ordinary horse. Just like all the human athletes that take roids.
4) 1 1/2 miles. Better horses have come up short due to this distance. And the fact he has to jump out to a lead due to his poor post position, lack of exercise this week and no roids. He will get tired.
5) Bad karma. The owner, the trainer and the jockey all talking trash. It'll come back to bite em in the ass!!!!!
6) -400. Why would anyone lay that much on an injured horse.
7) I am 0-2 vs BB but they third time's the charm!

Great advertisement! What you don't realize is that this is one of the weakest years for horseracing, BB is a great horse, his competition is terrible, the one horse that posed a serious threat was scratched, all signs point to BB winning, it is possible for him to become totally trapped, but it is actually less likely in a distance race to become trapped long enough to not be able to pull out of it and make a run later on. This race is less about the talent of BB and more about the lack of talent of the other horses, in horse racing nothing is a sure thing but this is about as close to it as you can get. -350 that they have it at Matchbook is very fair odds IMO.
