imallin, we had the same issue yesterday with the filly race. the wise guys picked Panty Raid and Winning Point and tossed the favorite. PR and WP made the very nice $24 exacta, while the favorite finished third with the dream trip (and PR leaves you alive for some very nice doubles).
good point though, 9-2 or 5-1 on CQ is showing an awful lot of respect for a horse that just got buried by the top two.
