Given your heading, I think I know where you're going with this. "Overbet power connections" I buy. "Slow" I don't.
I thought Anabeltaylor was a real bet against based on the possibility that she would back up off her last top effort and others in the field were just as fast and may have been sitting on better races. I really liked Reynolds' horse getting a little weight (finished second after a LOUSY trip) at 10-1. Can't say Anabeltaylor was "slow." As usual, the public overbet the last race, which was fast enough to win.
As for Exaggerate This, I thought the horse was clearly a major contender and I would have been shocked if he went off higher than 9/5. No way I can describe this horse as "slow" relative to this field. See the "Foot guy" thread for more...
