Here was the form of that longshot winner:



What I liked about the horse was that it had a nice turf pedigree - yet never tried turf. Only ran twice at PID (or any other syn before) and was 3rd at 58/1 and 3rd at 120/1 odds in those two - both times racing against a strong bias - and most importantly both of those PID races in sprints.

It's four worst speed figures on the above form all came in the only four sprint tries showing - and now it was getting a chance to finally route on a surface it obviously loved. Drawn inside (which is huge in the routes here) and facing a sh!t field.

That's the kind of horse that wasn't paying no $76 to win a track with sharper players - but it still would have paid a lot I think.
Jesus, I wish I had the time to devote to this like you do.
