Did you really attach a 30 minute "Talkin Heads" video? Wow.
Hey, "Love of the Horse" is a powerful thing. It's a thing that can be hard to get away from. It's a thing that can lead one to the teller to cash and its a thing that can leave one ripping up too many tickets trying to hit the "Sure thing" combination too many times.
For those that do not love horses, (or have learned the lesson not to love them), its a matter of probability. In Justify's favor is Bob Baffert and that can give one pause. Against Justify are larger odds and payouts at shorter investments.
In the end, one can hopefully cash Justify and brag, "I won on the Triple Crown Winner"...or one can beat him and assert, "I beat that even money favorite and cashed with a great payer".
Still believe Justify is going to go "off" and it could be fortunate to time that day as well. When it happens some will cry and others will rejoice. Still, in the end, its about probabilities and odds.
