2 year old races are always difficult to bet on...still developing and needing more racing experience...a lot can be very erratic and hard to follow...a good trainer and jockey combo is impt...but as has been mentioned in the recent press, big favourites do not often go on to win the Slipper...Alinghi looks to change that if you believe what everyone is saying and it could be that they're right..probably didn't help Tatouche...
