darkydog,

Actually, I did not have a bet in the race with my selection Danestorm not providing me with a 100% confidence of handling the going.

The point I was trying to make was how do you gauge (see) this type of form improvement? It is one of the things that irks me most about the punt - long shots winning major races.

Statistically speaking, less than 3% of the total amount invested in the win pool in this race thought Pantani could win. Did they have the knowledge or did they just 'back the grey horse' or follow the 'back greys in the wet adage'?

Dumb money winning is annoying!


Cheers,
Luckyboy
