donn was visual trouble. you could see it.

whitney was trouble based on his running style. he ran a race that he doesn't run, and still outlasted a horse who had the tables entirely set up for him.

Exactly what I was about to say.

PointGiven, you are seeing obvious trouble, and overrating it, while failing to see trips that are disadventageous....most likely because they aren't slapping you across the face. In this game you will never make money running with the herd and seeing everything as others see it.

This is almost as good as your quote during the Pick 6 thread. Kasept needs to make a "fabulous quotes" thread for the Charles Hatton Reading Room.
