Slow fig perfect trip winners can fool you if you take those races at face value .
No law says they cant go forward off those efforts. There was some hidden mojo if you're observant. And how hard is it to like something Saez is on at a good price.

Biggest problem is there are often many angle horses in the same race, so focusing down to one or two is not so easy.

Oh, and PS The horse got crushed in the exacta , well below the win odds, so apparently someone was not fooled.
