As do I. But I'm afraid most turf handicappers do the same. And that means it is harder to find overlays among that population. So I've been trying to make sense of the figures on their own merits. The figures for the Arlington Million participants look particularly puzzling in light of the result of the race. So I'm curious about whether the race was an anomaly or if I have misread it.
