It's obvious if you do your work.

There's a handicapping method which I just don't understand......see who the favorite is and bet against it. I see people doing this, in a confused attempt to be a wiseguy, and it makes no sense whatsoever. None. And, it's obviously a recipe for disaster.

This 5th race is a great example of a cut and dried situation, and it is more important in this case with a carryover, in that there are pretty much only two horses that can win, with the Jerkens horse a distant third possibility that maybe you back up with if you spend enough. Nobody else can be even remotely reasonably expected to win and your money has to be better spent elsewhere.
