The best horse won. He was undefeated and was the fastest horse in the race - with the best trainer to boot.
Had nothing to do with whether he raced last year.
It's irrelevant in today's game - and it will occur more often now.
Adapt your handicapping accordingly or lose.
I considered Justify a virtual lock - had him at EVEN-Money on my line.
(Would have made a killing if I was able to use an Exchange.)
I made Mendelssohn at 25/1, for example, to start. Would have dropped him to 15, then 10 as the money poured in.
