Overlays that got away??

[RockHardTen1985]

Not meant to be any sort of a redboard thread. Who do you remember as an overlay that should not have been. Doesn't matter if you liked the horse or not on that day. Obviously everything is easier to look at in hindsight.

One Ill always remember is Volponi. That was the first year I really started getting ready to bet a card a month in advance. Trying to find someone to make my illegal bets for me. Looking at PP's days out. Never could make him. Looking back now he could have easily been in the 15-1 to 20-1 range vs that group.

Blame. He won, but in hindsight, he was worth way more than what I bet on him. Of course, hindsight is 20/20.

Thirty Slews in the BC Sprint in the NY pools.

35/1 or so.

Dumb Nyers!

Anees. 1999 BC Juvy.

I think Midnight Lutes second BC win at Santa Anita is. I remember telling my friend all week I though he would be even money or 4-5 just because of Baffert and how he was simply much better then Street Boss. I think he was 5-2 or 2-1. Not a crazy one, but still....

In my opinion there is a very fine line between overlays and dead on the board, and you only know for sure which is which AFTER the race.

Bridgetown paying $8.20 yesterday was pretty generous, IMO.

There's some truth to that. I've found myself saying both 'I can't believe that horse paid that much' and 'No wonder his odds were so high' in the same day.
