Did you look at the race?

I bet the other Werner who ran 3rd at 37-1 but the winner was coming off a strong effort against older horses where she earned a Beyer of 86. That figure was better than or equal to everyone in the field except Union City and the eventual 2-3 finishers.

Whatever your rationale, she shouldn't have been 45-1.
