Please notice that I didn't edit that pick - wrong again for me.

Another possible explanation - David Jacobson, who makes his living in the claiming ranks by claiming high and entering low. In this case, Looking Cool had run in the Grade 2 CharlesTown Classic in April, ran for cl 50 in June and July, and was now entered in a cl 32. As Jacobson goes, this was a rather modest drop.
Still a stretch for me and you too I guess. I've listened to the "Experts" too many times in the past and it's messed me up. I've concluded in my own little handicapping brain that I'm as much of an expert as they are. Maybe Saratoga is the exception. Then again, my expertise is highly suspect when it comes to making money at the track but if I'm wrong because I picked the horses I'm just a little miffed. If my picks or wagers are wrong because I listened to anyone else I'm sincerely P-O'd.

But good logic for picking the 7 . . . but, but errr uhh "logic" in horse racing???
