Scipion looked like a very questionable horse to me and I reviewed TGraph "The Morning After". There were 3 horses in that field and 4 horses and 5 horses and 6 horses and better odds horses and quick horses and horses with better posts. I just didn't see 10-1 as being an exceptional edge all things considered. If he'd gone off at 25-1, I might have considered his breeding and projected or hoped for second start 2yo-3yo improvement. I looked hard at him. I just didn't see it. Did I misread the Red Board?....I swore it was something like 15, 9, 7, 9
I had Real Dandy and Silent Bid on top. In hindsight it kind of looks like Silent was a bad bet, but I was looking for a speed pop and my theory is Lukas is cheating again. I really didn't anticipate Zito's horse gunning like that. I don't usually spread on horses keyed atop like that but I was convinced Harlington was a bet against. Thats what you get when you don't focus...lol
I'd sure be interested in someone explaining what they saw in Scipion to make them think the pattern was positive. If you want to see a positive pattern, go back and refer to your TFigs on Real Dandy.
