I understand your point Beyerguy and I retract "completely random". But it was pretty random.
Congrats to your friends who were decent handicappers and came up with Giacomo. I don't mean to sound sarcastic, but I would book all their future bets, if they came up with Giacomo in this race.
A couple more points.
1. You are posting on the thorograph board and Giacomo was the 19th fastest of 20 horses on T-Graph figures.
2. I don't agree that there were three closers. Andromeda's Hero, Noble Causeway and Sort it Out are all closers.
3. Many many people would argue that of Greater Good, Don't Ged Mad and Giacomo, Giacomo was the best. 25 million was bet in the win pool on Saturday and Don't Get Mad went off at 29-1, Giacomo at 50-1 and Greater Good 58-1. Sounds like the general poublic liked none of them much, but Don't Get Mad the most.
