This tends to happen quite a bit when a given horse passes another horse on the way to making a significant big against (either) the winner (or a horse that's very strong at that point). After the run Biofuel put in against the winner, she figured to come back a bit late.

On the one hand, I lose a ton of exactas (and tris) this way and it steams the **** out of me (when a horse I've passed early in the stretch comes back and gets me late). On the other, we wouldn't want a jock to be out there for 2nd money, so I can understand when they try to beat a horse that's just too strong for them and bury their horse in the process.

NO way. I can't imagine that.
