Not saying its impossible but certainly nowhere near the odds that you'll have to swallow. The more I look at this race the more I like Yeshesapistol at what figures to be the only "bettable odds". Areyoutalkingtome looms huge in here but hard to take at around 8/5.

You are right that the 33% stat is misleading. If all of Ellis's horses were as good as DM, the stat would be more like 60%. Many of his horses coming off layoffs are not great horses.
