Even though War Pass towered over everything in that race on form - you have to wonder what is going through someones head when they are willing to risk large sums of money to try and make a $0.05 profit on the dollar on any horse race,
Let alone one with a horse who you knew going in was clearly very likely to be taken out of his game and given an education. The closest thing I've ever seen to a rational bridgejumping situation was when Medaglia D' Oro raced against four other tomato cans in the Oaklawn Park Handicap. You got $0.10 on your dollar because of the rules in Arkansas - and the horse who ran 2nd in that race, Slider, had been running at Mountaineer. MDO was also an older horse who always fired - and he was trained by the most careful good horseman you'll ever see.

Proud to say I had some on Atoned across the board. Couldn't predict War Pass to fade to nothing but suspected he might have trouble with the surface switches. Slop at Monmouth, very fast GP and then on to a sandy track. That plus a rating experiment made 1/9 look kind of foolish.
The talking heads on TVG were anointing him and barely addressed anyone else. Too funny.
