Thanks.
The inside draw was also very key in this instance. It's hard to appreciate that part of it unless you handicap this track daily.
If I don't believe a cutie pie horse can race on the rail for a large portion of the race - I won't get cute and pick him on top.
The common thing with a lot of my huge bomb winners here - they either have post position 1 or 2 if they don't figure to get to the lead - or they figure as the inside most speed in the race. The only real exception this meet has been with a Forest Danger first-time starter who just happened to take no money for whatever reason.
Even in this instance - if the projection horse has post 7 instead of post 2 - I probably take the 4/5 favorite on top.
