Okay, so, let me tell you about this whole Crupi horse thing I got into. It all started when I was browsing around, looking for something interesting in the horse racing world. That’s when I stumbled upon this name – Crupi. I saw that this horse was running in the 138th running of some big race, with a $350 prize. That got my attention, I gotta say.
So I started digging deeper. I checked out Crupi’s past performances, speed figures, you know, the usual stuff. I also looked up his pedigree, and found out he was bred in Kentucky, and is one of three winners out of Don’tforgetaboutme, which is kind of cool. Turns out, Jacob West was the agent involved in this.
Then, I found out that on December 31st, 2023, Crupi was ridden by Kendrick Carmouche and won some big stakes race at Aqueduct, scoring $87312. That’s a pretty significant win, right?
- I got curious about whether Crupi would ever go to stud. Some folks were saying he might, even in Kentucky. Apparently, he’s pretty sound, which isn’t always the case with racehorses these days.
- I also came across some info about Fusaichi Pegasus, this legendary horse that won the Kentucky Derby in 2000. He was sold for a whopping $70 million, making him the most expensive horse ever. Crazy, huh?
Now, this Crupi horse is owned by Repole Stable and St. Elias Stable, and he’s apparently a strong contender for something called the Pegasus World Cup. I learned that he’s a 4-year-old and has finished in the top three in 14 out of 19 career starts, earning close to $1.2 million. That’s some serious cash.
But here’s the thing – I realized that horses aren’t really an investment. I mean, on average, only about 30% of the costs are made back in prize money. People buy horses for the experience, and the only ones really making money are the trainers, breeders, jockeys, and bookmakers.
My Conclusion
So, after all this digging, I figured out that the most profitable horse racing strategy is something called value betting. It’s basically about finding discrepancies between what you think a horse’s chances are and the odds the bookmakers are giving. If you can spot those errors, you might be able to make some money. I tried to take advantage of these apparent errors.
Anyway, that’s my whole journey into the world of Crupi. It was a wild ride, and I learned a lot along the way. Hope you found it as interesting as I did!
