I think it is Wittgenstein that is credited with the quote: "When I came home I expected a surprise and there was no surprise for me, so of course, I was surprised."
There's something about these two days that keep bringing that quote to my mind. And I guess that will be my general approach this year; when life gives you lemons make lemonade, and all that. Rushing Fall, Mor Spirit, Masar, Stellar Wind, Lady Aurelia, Lady Eli, Drefong, World Approval, Gun Runner.. And Baffert. I don't think I'll be betting against those too heavily, and may even side with a few of them.
As for THE bomb.. I kinda like Ballagh Rocks, might try some exotics using him and World Approval. I think that zero is genuine. And I even think that figure before that one is a bit deceiving. A bit of voodooing and voilĂ , are one looking at paired tops? I guess not but worthy of a try at 33/1 in a race that do have that smell of chaos.
