Short rest asking for the surperior effort again on two weeks rest......if I am wrong it's just one of many stupid (losing) wagers you make over the course of a year but if you don't take on the giants at shorter odds (0.50 that day) you can't reach for the ring.
Will I ever know if he would have smoked that field....of course not but it doesn't matter all your looking for is an angle with a reasonable chance of (> than 5-10% of covering)
How many horses who win the derby fail to win the preakness?
It's not the horse but the situation and it will happen again this year when a superior horse will be short odds on short rest and the public will still bet it down to almost nothing.
And if they take my several hundred for a chance at a hundred thousand so be it...
