Had he JUST BEEN SWITCHED to Mott, I would've agreed with you. But generally, connections mean next to nothing if it's the horse's ninth start with those connections. Your lack of comprehension is embarrassing.

It's downright hilarious that you call me "not with the times" when you admit to blindly betting connections, which may have been a relatively good strategy back BEFORE SPEED FIGURES WERE INVENTED.

Whos betting blindly? I played him because he has back class, will improve second off to top it off his connections did not give up on him and just drop him to some restricted stakes. He was a very good underlay (based on M/L). Looking for value unlike chalk players like yourself. I said to myself why not take a shot? If he had a little better trip he would have won the darn thing.

I want in your words....

....why you think court vision ran well today?? Yes he ran well, not just OK. Probably his best figure yet. You said he was slow and you said it had nothing to do with his connections. Must be an act of God. No other explanation right?
