You may be right, horseplayers are at times married to wrong horses. Call it infactuation, it works both ways, burned on one -payoff on another. I mentioned on a play as you go thread weeks ago I was interested in the Couton/Powell horse that won yesterday at 8-1 on the 6.5 downhill
one race back I thought he was too passively ridden by Couton that day, but finished strong in that race, anyway I though he was worth a try again yesterday, this could have been a case of chasing a horse, but as we know sometimes it does work and sometimes it doesn't. Regardless I like how Couton finishes on horses if he could just get more position early on, who knows maybe he is finally learning that he is no longer riding in Europe.
