That's because this isn't a good betting race.
1) Mitchell's horse is rat but because he juices, it needs to be considered
2) The Baffert that's run took up a bit early backstretch, but it had an inside run from that point on and was asked by the jock, essentially, out of the gate. He had nothing in the stretch -- though he wasn't pushed late. Now, he gets blinkers on and we're supposed to 'assume' he can run and get the easy lead.
3) The rest of the field consists of 1sters -- included the $1M other Baffert.
4) Both Bafferts and the Mitchell figure to take money.
Where exactly is the value here?
