You can see three cappers from DT said they were live for stuff going into the last, and didn't use the Came Home horse(6.) That should tell you something. For it to go off 5/2, would mean a lot of connections' money was put in. I didn't bet that card, but I think I WOULD HAVE LEFT THE HORSE OFF (because of the lack of success from Came Home.) That's one of the major criticisms of multi-race wagers(can't see the action on the later legs.) Remember, that Brad F had the favorite (with Rosario) as the most likely winner on the card(I think.) Not saying they take him as Bible, but a lot of people use him as a guide to who has a chance, and he didn't pick the 6 in the top 3. That's especially important, because a lot of people run out of time for capping(and take someone else's top 2 or 3 in some legs.)
