I used the latter in my exotics, but the former was coming off of a huge layoff and didn't seem to be a contender, other than being gelded since his last start.
Pacific Song finished over Sterling's Temple.
Is the first-time gelding angle profitable and can be backed up by stats, or is it a losing angle?

The biggest problem with trying to do stats on first time geldings is that it is often reported incorrectly. You can usually figure it out but it takes some work to get it correct in a database. In any case, it won't be profitable. That is a promise.
