Nobody had the 6 in the race why didnt any body use him? he looked good to me got off of him dont know why. Any opinions?..jp

Yes JP that #6 Dancers Wish looked sooo good specially after
the race. OK ... I've re-examined that race & here's how I NOW
see it. (Yesterday I had thrown out, 100%, the 2 favs: #2 Lott
and #10 Grady .... now thats a big vantage. Both were 2 slow
and #10, a 8-yr-old, was barely in that class & had zero early
speed & a crap post ... so out).... The Espeed looked to be:
#4, #6, #8, #9. (#9 hadn't raced since July & so OUT). That
left 4,6,8 ... with the 4 usually getting caught anyways. So
I played #1 and #5 which I considered Pressers-Stalkers ...
something in that style. Wrong. The #6 turned out to be the
real Presser ... and now I can see how my 2 choices were not
that great. BTW .... I did all the #6 analyses AFTER the race
cause I did not really appreciate his form-speed until it was 2 late.

I basically did the same thing.I liked the 6 but I really though the speed horses would get caught especially the latter races. I loved the 1 horse cutting back after a 5 wide race , plus being in the one hole should save ground but I never get the bias right ,I was just curious why others didnt play him....jp

JOE ... the track was toying, all day long, with that speed bias.
Even though 4-6-8 were left as the Es, 8 was suspect also.
I got nothing against MNR Park, but when its an 8-yr-old at the
AQU, I ususally eliminate --- and I did. It was just one of those
miss-reads: and my little homespun proggy that I use rated
the #6 low in class etc ... and so, I think, the track bias over-played all other stuff yesterday.
