Yeah, Spankey Come Home pulled a "Broad Brush" on that race. A VERY oddly run race. To be honest, I just don't see what the hooplah is around this horse. Sure, he should win, but this is the exact type of horse that I play against regularly: an overbet closer. Haven't seen the odds yet, but I can see a few horses in here that will offer pick 3 value as mostly all i play are pick 3's and 4's.

the 4,7,8, and 12 come to mind

I was going to list that same foursome. Plus even the rail may not be hopeless.

Perhaps polytrack is kinder to laggards like this horse but I agree with your general philosphy on this kind of horse.
