For me, this was one of those races where instead of doing what I felt was wasting money trying to beat a favorite that looked like a lock, it was better to just pass the race. Some people like to look at a race and even if they don't like a horse's chances to win, they will let the odds tell them otherwise. Me, if I don't think a horse has a shot to win, it wouldn't matter if the odds were 1/5 or 50/1.

and you were clearly correct.

prior to the race i thought there was a reasonable argument for some of the others.

like i said, it's very thin ice to be arguing after the race. but tg sheets do identify vulnerable favorites often enough that i'll pay attention in a race like this. that was the original question.
