lomoca, I don't suggest we throw darts at the formguide .......

I was driving over Kosiosko last Feb / Mar and listened to a racing program about NZ horses and they went into great detail about Wall Street being NZ's best horse, it's form and the fact it was set for the Cox Plate. It won one race out of two here at 6/1. A horse called Ginga Dude ran Wall Street to a neck over 1,600 metres the start before Ginga Dude came over here. Ginga Dude won at double figure odds trouncing the opposition.

Bart Cummings was spruiking Rock Classic, who on form didn't appear too flash. It proceeded to win a big race at double figure odds.

Why was Ginga Dude overlooked ?

Why was Rock Classic overlooked ?

I'm not looking for duds at all, I'm studying to find a potentially decent horse and giving it a couple of runs. When Bart gives a horse one run then puts it out for a spell, that's worth a look. Also worth a look is a horse with a really good strike rate who has had a shocker first up. The unwashed usually think it hasn't "come up", which may be true, but one run in ?
