The second choice in the race can't be a wiseguy horse. A wiseguy horse is an 'outside the box' entrant who people talk themselves into to try to beat the favorites.

I guess I consider a wiseguy horse to be a horse that is bet down to odds that aren't really justified based on hype, etc...I agree that most of the time it's not one of the favorites....but IMO it can be...(Dialed In, Fresian Fire, Sweetnorthernsaint) God knows I've taken the bait many times over the years.
