It's easier after the fact for sure, but I wouldn't take away from the due diligence put in by those that came up with that horse in their tickets... I mean, the selections are out there for all to see... nobody singled him as far as I know. I included him with 4 others because I thought he was live. And, as BTW said, one of the keys to play multi-race wagers is figuring out where you have definite opinions of how a race will turn out and also figuring out where you will do well just to survive. IMO, this was one of the latter.

For those that wanted the rationale behind selecting Paul's Hope, they got it....there were many reasons to not take the horse but I felt the reasons to include him were compelling enough.
