So, now I'm wondering, how much $$ did CC lose on the Belmont? I'm sure a lot of folks thought CC was a sure bet, or at the very least end up third place. Had I bet (but I don't gamble ), I would have placed a bet for him to win, then another to at least show (3rd place?) and lost both bets.
The odds were so heavy in his favor because many people please the minimum bet on him so they can have a souvenir ticket. Handicappers wouldn't have given him the same odds.
