That horse must have really done some damage to your wallet over the years judging by all your comments.

I'll just say this. Horses don't frame the odds and horses don't force anyone to bet on them. Fava has had 42 starts now for TWO wins. Seriously, anyone rushing to back it at those odds deserves everything they get.

there is some truth in that.
i suppose i have backed it 10 times in the past.
but about a year ago i gave up and just watch it.
it storms from the rear in the past but now runs near the pace and lately is getting blocked on the rails.

it is unusual though to see a poor horse running at the odds that it does.
eventually horses like those show up at 10,20 or so to 1 but not Fava.
he is always well fancied.

if bookies awarded nobel prizes i am sure he would have one.

Fava is a dead set pain.... nearly every race it enters it clearly the top rater (on my ratings) and usually gets rolled :) The day I pot it is the day it wins... ah well

my required price for fava on sunday was 12.5/1
on saturday my required price for turaga was 2.5/1
also they slipped him back in distance.

my pricing is designed to eliminate the over-bet horses - saving me a packet lately.
