Staunched don't give up on Alinghi she is top class no doubt.Her run was a bottler in the slipper. I posted my asessment under the slipper heading before the race. Had her on top of my market but due to the likely run she was going to get had her a 94 chance (posted 74 but actually worked out to be 94)and did not back her as she was unders. Pricing or assessing value is just as important as picking winners if you are serious about winning long term.
