Somebody other than Dubai Escapade actually went off at 2/1? Why?

I suppose her last race left a bad taste in the mouth of bettors. I certainly thought she would be heavily favored myself. I really couldnt see the money that Maalibu Mint was taking was justified. I think it stemmed from the fact that Gomez was hot up here and was getting the mount from Arce, which was ridiculous because the other kid didn't do anything wrong the last time and she coldnt get by Stormy Kiss. If ever there was an overlay at 6-5, she was it.
