Not the first time its happened, wont be the last.

I'll use one of your horses as a good example. You were enduring a horrible meet up at Saratoga ( sorry ) and your first timers were doing particularly poorly. However, these firsters were all dead on the board, each seemingly going off at 40-1 or more. Well, now we come to the final weekend, and the soon to return Kong's Revenge showed up. It was a typically strong looking Saturday maiden race at Saratoga and there was Kong's Revenge at 4-1 early in the betting. You don't need to hit me over the head. He drifted to 11-1, still a short price for your stable's Saratoga firsters, and aired.
