I didn't believe it, because obviously the horse was having a hard time getting a win anywhere, but I can't say that the man was talking like a crazy person either beforehand. Usually when people get lucky on something like that, i think of it just that way -- lucky. But Wing had been so adamant and so logical in laying it out, that I wasn't totally shocked that the horse ran a big one.
