Yea....if you give me a moment, I can find 10 angles to support every winner. Including, I threw a dart and it landed on the 2

that is about the only way i could have picked that horse is with a dart, I believe i did notice that the whole field of 10 or 12 were only seperated by about 2 lengths at the finish

If you key off her Appalachian race, there is really no other horse in the race that had run anything close to that. She was marooned on the far outside, raced 5 wide, yet still managed to get within 6.5 lengths of the best turf filly in America.

That's maybe the best recent big race example.

I didn't get a bet down, but to Justin's point, Santina Dond was not a difficult filly to include or even key off her Thoro-Graph figs as well. She was a crazy price considering she had gotten back to her top (7.5) last time, and was 3rd/4th 'fastest' among Happy Choice (6.5), Notassharpasuthink (6.75) and Holidaysatthefarm (7.5).

I think what made her float to the 30-1 was how much speed was signed on and her appearance as perhaps the cheapest looking of the speeds. To her credit, she was only beaten 6+ lengths by Winter Memories in April (as I see Kev pointed out). I'd like to hear the story of how she went from Keeneland yearling to Poland.

Poland is the new Dubai. As soon as Pat starts a RacenightKrakow.com website they will be there. Of course they have the advantage of not handicapping themselves with synthetic surfaces AND the Keilbasa stand at Warsaw Park is off the charts

Given the names of the connections, Vladamir Kazakov owns and Gennadi Dorochenko trains, I can connect the dots from Lexington to Poland.

yes, to me race seemed absolutely loaded with speed ----closers did come flying but a bit too late and the horse Dominguez rode seemed blocked the most of all

Don't worry, you're making your dart throwing plenty evident..

As it is, you're about three seconds from needing to find somewhere else to advertise your prowess, so I'd keep attempts to inhibit post-race analysis to a minimum. Unlike you, a lot of people here are interested in learning how to identify betting opportunities, and figuring out why $60 horses got missed is pretty invaluable.
