I'm leery of generalizing and throwing too many stones on this, since you can talk yourself out of perfectly good bets this way. In NY, I throw out Dutrow's horses when it looks like they should be thrown out, and they usually get overbet and plenty of times it works out.

It's just a little strange that the same thing seems to be happening in the Triple Crown races almost every year now. Baffert, one two and out. Lukas, horse from nowhere, keeps going. It's one thing to pull this in Delaware (Lake), but with everybody's eyes on a race it's a different story. HP
