In that race, like almost every other race run, the favorite had the best chance of any individual horse to be the winner. What Pizzolla meant by 'gift' was that with very little analysis he had seen two horses who he thought had a much better chance in the race than their odds indicated. At least that's what I thought he meant. If he actually meant that he was absolutely certain that the two longshots were going to run 1st and 2nd, then his ego is MUCH bigger than I thought and he is having visions of divinity.
As Dick Schmidt is so fond of saying, "NEVER let anyone else do your thinking for you."

I don't know if it's divinty exactly, but you do need a heathy dose of 'it" to play for the big score.
Afterall , everyone says it can't be done and/or by the very nature of the play you are saying your opinion is better than 98% of the crowd in this race.
Sometimes when you hook up a 1K ex or 10K tri you do feel a little divine.
