The comment on the winner, Hard Not To Like, was "has never run fast enough to be
involved here and hasn't developed much since [age] two, [b][u][i]when we
liked her a lot[/i][/u][/b]".

I also liked this filly a lot when she was running at 2, mostly in Canada. I bet
her in horizontals Saturday, which turned an awful losing day into merely a
losing day.

I have found that sticking with horses that once left an impression on me can be
the source of value, because the play is based on something that I might have
seen, something subjective, rather than a widely held impression.

Is it unscientific to bet on horses just because of a long ago formed first
impression, or because you've bet on them in the past and don't want to get
burned? It worked Saturday, though I am assuming that I have not maintained a
positive ROI on sentimental wagers such as this over the years.

Very promising performance by first time NA/first time Mott runner who ran second
to Somali Lemonade at KEE yesterday... Diana bound?
