I agree, but that has nothing to do with his price in the win pool....I hit the TRI too, so no complaints there.....All I was saying was that he had no excuse to lose with his trip, so IMO who cares what his price was...it could've been 300-1 and it doesn't matter because the fact is that he lost when the race was given to him on the front end - hence he just wasn't good enough and thats why horses that aren't good enough to win aren't a good value at any price....

However, Scat Daddy was a graded stakes winner and the class of the field with excuses in his last two efforts and yet a maiden winner was favored over him.....now that is value IMO....
