You'd think these guys would get if after a while, how often you see a horse get steadied or impeded in the lane, and then just stop.
Horses aren't all brave, and many of em will just say screw it when stopped and not restart the motor.
You learn to watch the ears, which tell you a lot about how a horse is feeling.
I got screwed. Anyone who coulnd't see that Victor had more horse and was tracveling sweeter, well they just have no hope and can't watch races.
Trying to use what she did after the fact is kinda funny, and moronic.
She got stopped and chucked it.
Its a shame, it really is.

Do you reread this crap before posting it or do you actually want to continue to pretend that somehow you have some clever insight into racewatching and others here don't? Do you think these off-hand insults of other posters, while you pretend to be some huge winning gambler, vis-a-vis your racewatching skills of course, will go unnoticed and unanswered? You want to tell us that there is more than one way to watch a race, fine, but this " I know...they don't " BS is as preposterous as it is insulting.

Well, I think the horse that is the subject of this conversation was " shut off " because it simply did not have enough horse to make the move with the eventual winner, and the horse was hardly " shut off " with a full head of steam, and was in fact barely checked, and then eased out facily at the top of the stretch and backed up. You want a comparison? Relaxed Gesture in the Sword Dancer. Everybody jumped all over the ride, and it was a poor one, but the simple fact is the horse had nothing....and that was proven in subsequent starts. You are simply making excuses for a losing pick, instead of blaming yourself as you should, seeing if you should make some adjustments in your handicapping, and moving forward from there. Always blaming someone else will keep a horseplayer from having any chance of winning.

And, yes, I have hit many Pick-6s, some for very good money, and I have championed ALL the tickets and used money of my own.
