Fair odds: In the Woodbine Mile, go against the betting favorite
TORONTO — When it comes to success betting on horse racing, taking a stand against a horse can be as lucrative as picking the right one.
At least that is what I hope with my wagering strategy for the Grade 1, US$746,453 Woodbine Mile on Saturday.
No. 1 Master of The Seas is even money on the morning line and should be every bit of that. He will more likely be odds-on when facing five rivals with no. 3 Shirl’s Speight the only Grade 1 or Group 1 winner among them.
Master of The Seas himself actually never has won at that level, but a second two years ago in the 2,000 Guineas and a third in Jebel Hatta this year certainly stack his form tall, especially in light of less-regarded invaders such as Bolshoi Ballet shipping in to win Grade 1 races this year in America.
