Here's a fun example.
Just now the winner at AQU , on a DQ at 43-1 , a Firster from a barn who rarely wins, and never with a FTS, and a low % rider
Took little or no money . Was 45 to 60-1 in all the Pick-X pools.
Not only that , it was sold as a yearling for 170,000, and then resold for 43,000
I took that as a negative, but actually 43,000 was still decent money. They just knew it probably wasn't a 200k horse.
Ran huge, 4-5 wide the whole race ,at a mile no less. Just missed
This is a game that will drive you crazy , for sure.
Interesting postscript. The horse was claimed! for the 40k . How often you see a claim of a 45-1 firster ? Wonder if Falcone bet something .
