I think it would make a pretty cool long term contest to see who could pick the highest percentage of favorites who finish worse than 3rd.

Yeah. My guy always offered the play in So. Cal. To this day remember the one time I tried it. Was at loser 96 when in the first race at Santa Anita a horse who a week before had been trounced at Caliente named Bigbadandmean trained by Anthony Hemerick scooted home at 46-1 in a seven horse 10k claimer. During the sequence there were several times I had to survive close scrapes with 2nd place finishes sometimes pretty close photos. Not as easy as one might think.
