With repect to the Shaun and the horse Manganese. Shaun had it rated second, yet the market did not agree.

Here is my Conundrum No 64. Somebody else said if they price a horse or their ratings do and the market has it well over those odds that he believes the Market is nearly always right. So he accepts that and believes he is at fault not the market. ( or something similar, meaning the same if I have it right )

Now, this interests me greatly because I suppose one common theme through all my meanderings is looking for value, looking for the angle that the crowd and market undervalue.

So, in respect to Shaun. What should he have done in this situation. I have conflicting opinions given to me. One, disregard and let the market guide as a filter or 2. Go with what you have got. If your ratings or system selects something, and you think you have a sound policy then go with it, you can not deviate and not bet, because of factors outside of what you have judged the race on.
