| Charlie James 11/7/2011 10:19:54 PM | Jeff, thanks for posting that -- 3 pieces of buried info that I found interesting: 1st -- horses short on experience/low number of lifetime starts = awful bets. 2nd -- horses conditioned in easy spots/low field size last out = awful bets. 3rd -- horses with minimal conditioning/low basicfitness = awful bets. Methinks you exposed a weakness in current day thinking behind the way "horsemen" handle their stock. Imho: Horses are athletes!!! I'm a staunch believer in old school thinking that says: RACE the horse into condition! Your analysis tells me that horses handled in an old school way got the best of it in this year's bc -- while bettors backing horses that were coddled took it in the shorts.
