Saddlecloth,
It is good that you switched topics!! I already regret my previous post. Posting my pick-4 bet after the fact was stupid. Anybody could make up numbers.
Anyway, are you sure you are right about Da Hoss? I could have sworn he won the Breeders Cup Mile, then didn't race again until the Breeder's Cup two years later, not "second off the layoff", but directly off the layoff. But my memory could be wrong.
If Tapit runs poorly, it probably isn't the layoff, he just might not be that fast. The Wood really was a "negative" key race, in that none of the horses in that race have come back and run well since. His other good race was the Laurel Futurity last year as a two year old.
I personally hate betting races with Dickinson runners in them off the long layoff. I can't bet them because they don't seem logical, but they really do step up often and win. Similar to trying to bet against Jeff Mullins horses in California off the claim. You can't beat him, but you can't bet him either.
