Class Handicapper,
I am surprised by your "what is the point". Do you actually believe there is ONLY value in betting against favorites?
Any time there is a race where a horse that will take a reasonable amount of money is a "non-contender" in my mind, there is probably a betting strategy to take advantage of that opinion.
I don't like Capeside Lady at all and consider her one of the favorites to come in LAST in the race. I also think there is value in hoping/thinking that Stellar Jayne might not run her best after a couple of tough efforts. Especially with how ICE COLD the Lukas barn has been.
So, I actually think there is very good value for me in the race.
Of course, if I am wrong about Stellar Jayne and Capeside Lady, there goes my "value"....
