I haven't pulled Formulator on him in a while, but if he claimed one out of a dirt sprint and ran him first out 2 turns turf, his win rate was like 6% or something, yet they always took a ton of
because his first off the claim % is generally in the high 30's. Great bet against opportunities as you get inflated prices on logical horses.
I've learned to live with him. If he doesn't come back, I won't be doing cartwheels about it nor will I lose any sleep. will definitely have to alter my approach to wagering there though.
Of course, Zaidie will be waiting in the wings to take his place.
