early money in north america and partial world parimutual is pounding this #3 vs the bigfavorite #2

. himmmm normally I Would like that one.
 
11:00 in the morning here….put my winnings on Giants +10.5 on this race…would have been more if the Giants could have won straight up…
 
the horse that I think could out run his crazy crazy crazy odds are #13 13. Carif post 8. playing him small wps just in case as a saver...can pick a few in a 23 horse field.
 
Incentivise is 7/5 in a 23-horse field.

That's a short price for such a large field.

Commanding about 35% of the win pool.
 
In the North American pool, Verry Ellegant closed at odds of 15/1.

Favored Incentivise was 3/2 in the end.
 
top 4 were in the top 5 in wagering. not a single long shot ran even close. still in a giant field and 5th choice winning it tri and supers will pay great of course.
 
favorite will be about 3-1 in this huge 24 horse field

Smart stayer with big upside. Great Voltiguer winner. Finished off last campaign won by 2.75 len York G2 Great Voltiguer August 17 over 2385m defeating Secret State carrying 58kg at $3.50. Previous preparation first-up favourite; won by 1.3 len Windsor April 25 over 2012m defeating Cosmic Desert with 56kg at $6. Follows a familiar pathway across from the UK and formlines pop off the page. The one to beat.
 
great race lots of position changes

high weight which is rare won it #1 Gold Trip 19-1 or so

the year of the horse racing upset continues.

favorite had a perfect trip but could only get 4th
 
I wonder if or when any USA based horse went. its such a long race no such USA horse would really be meant for that trip. the favorite today will be a UK based horse that also runs long 2-3 mile hurdles. just none in USA really set up for that we dont have great jumpers here there is a circuit of course but nothing of class.
