A guy in my office had it for $1.....

I handicapped that race big time. It was full of pressure (I had it EE/54 (Quirin speed points) and only the 2 and 8 had any closing ability at all. The 2 was also a "reversal horse" for those who recently attended the Oct HM Seminar in LV.

Needless to say , I was into this race big time. The winner I had as a fulcrum throwout and the place horse also figured to be left in the dust after a blistering pace duel. But as the late John Belushi would say:"I could be out selling hash in the streets; but NOoooooooooo!,, the speed holds up and takes ALL my money!"

As it seeminly often goes, the 2 and 8 both must have beem running in a different race... It was the strangest finish I have seen in a long time in regards to basic "expected" handicapping principles. I was playing this race of pace/position more so than any of my numbers; which made the finish even more surprising.

Am I all wet, or are there others out there who handicapped this race and were as surprised as I?

This was one for the A.I. programs. Thoroughbrain TB5 had Bannack as a strong play in this race depending how the software is trained. If looking for priced horses and great value, those using TB5 would have been on this huge winner today.

I did not play any exotics in this race, just played this winner to Win & Place and got back a "package". Once in awhile winners like this will show up and leave the pace handicappers shaking their heads and wondering out load how the hell could this happen--especially since the horse had not run in so long, over 200 days!!!

That's the power of Artificial Intelligence software.

All the best,

VALIDATOR 2 HAD THE 12 RANKED #1. PERIOD! THIS IS ONE "PACE HANDICAPPER" WHO JUST SAID "THANK YOU NEW YORK" RICHIE

[CapperLou]

Glad you had Bannack too!!! That's why it did not pay 200.00!! This horse as I mentioned was a strong play with TB5.

Hope you made plenty of dough for Holidays!!!

All the best,
