I don't know how to compare the times or quality of races some of those fillies have been competing in. I had been playing in a Godolphin fantasy stables contest for the past few months and thought that would help with the Euros, but it barely scratches the surface. Looking at the morning line, I suspect that the oddsmaker was equally perplexed.
Actually, I don't too much mind the British races because they at least give you a brief description of how a runner did in the race although I have never been able to understand how a horse can be "pushed" along, but you can understand what running style a horse has, but races in other parts of Europe or Ireland, you get very little with which to make a judgement other than how the top three finished and how the horse you're looking at in the PPs finished. I don't think they even tell you what post position the horse had, but could be wrong about that.
