Having been a big fan of Lovely Jubly openly on this forum, I have to make a comment on this. I agree with you both!

I agree with Equine Investor that Lovely Jubly will probably go around odds on next start, no matter what, and I agree with chief that I would probably still back it.

When I see Lovely Jubly, one word comes to mind for me. Exacta.

I guess I'm still waiting for the sting because in the past I have backed horses because I thought they would win and not because they were value. It probably makes me a proverbial "form" student. Looking back through my wagers/investments/bets/gambles (did we decide on one yet?) I would have to say I could have come undone a number of times if the HOT POT lost (by gee Sunline shows up a lot!).

I guess it comes down to personal preference. I'd much rather back a short priced winner than a long priced loser, but I will rarely strike a 20/1 or longer collect either. In my "10% bank" they come up, but it's not the serious money.

What am I missing out on?
