The forgotten race of the week

[spa]

Did everyone pass on the rotw?? How easy can it get??

Apparently is wasn\'t that easy, did you read the summary?

Beyerguy, I read the numbers.....Isola just ran two races, under wraps in 1\'s....back in the old country, she was going much longer on off tracks. The trick was the second horse, that came from the summary. If the 2 runs a lick, I can buy another Dali!!!!!!!At 7/1, I even went back and bet the #4 place and show. My point, this was too good a race to not bet.

Excellent job of handicapping the race Spa.  It is amazing how easy handicapping can be a few hours after post time..........

Jimbo....look at my post before the race....

spa - nice one, but this game is never easy!!!!!

it just SEEMS easy after a score.

For me, hitting and cashing on a race is a failure if it deludes me into thinking that something is not what it is. This is a game of randomness and probabilities. Anything can happen; there are no sure things.

Granted, obvious bad favorites are obvious bad favorites, and we must aggressively pounce in those spots... anyone throwing money on that Frankel horse was surely \"Ill\" advised, but at the same time I saw too many question marks on Isola to use at 2-1. Not a bad saver # if you keyed on Rare Gift though.  Maybe many of the value hunters were preoccupied with religious obligations that day?
