Have no problem whatsoever with a favorite coming in when the contest choice doesn't........
I suppose a little further re$earch into Timeform rating / company line may have merited it a more favorable review(or just if those fields in its two most recent previous races had been large)-- but at the odds? In such a scenario-- where it and the 5 then would've made it two entries in the probable winner list-- i would've dutched both just to pick up a few extra dollars. In my thinking-- trying to beat one probable winner is righteous-- but when there're two or more such beasts it becomes so much more futile: one falters, another one there to take its place...... this is all just hypothetical & strategic musing...
