No , not at all . For betting purpose's , it's the buried number you want to see in that situation and not necesarily the pair . When the horse pairs in early 3 yo season and has alot of races under his belt , he might not bounce due to maturation . Your taking the horse for value , it wasn't a great betting race , so you do your best with it ...
I had Doc Cheney to move up significantly off a potentially explosive pattern and boxed w/ Rehoboth + Sharp Humor , it was stupid but not as bad as taking the eventual Fla Derby winner yesterday becouse it was a huge underlay and I didn't like him off his numbers or pattern .
