If anyone thinks a 13th beaten 8L is equal to a 2nd beaten 8L (given all else equal) then they should be in a different game.

Doriemus ran 2nd beaten 7.5 lengths to Might and Power in the 96 Caulfield Cup. In this years Caulfield Cup, Hollow Bullet ran 12th beaten 7 lengths. By that abundantly absurd reasoning, Hollow Bullet's run was better.

Whoever believes that, don't bet any more. Give your money to charity instead. You'll end up the same financially and at least some needy people will benefit.
