Frankel and Together are two outstanding runners by Galileo. After seen them (TVG) in the post parade and races, those two look fairly plain and on the small size to me. What are the general opinions on the look of Galileo's offspring?

I bet Frankel to win and place on twinspires.com in the US. The payout on the place bet was exactly the amount I bet. In other words, I won nothing. However, the Racing Post online indicated he paid 1.40 to win and 1.02 to place. Therefore, I should have been paid $2 if I had bet $100 on Frankel to place. Right?
Someone at twinspires tried to convince me that overseas, the return on betting a heavy favorite can actually be *less* than the amount bet. Can this be true?

I meant to ask if a $100 place bet should have earned $102, for a *net gain* of $2.
