Believe me he wasn't the ONLY person on that track that didn't have the word about this horse, too many people knew to keep this a secret from him.
My OPINION is that he had the info, didnt think as many people had the info as actually did and over compensated on the odds as to not piss the trainer or the owner or who ever gave him the info off(maybe a high roller) so she wouldn't go off 1/2 and not give him any info ever again. That 5/2 made someone a ton of money along with a single for the pik 4 that paid 1100 and change for 50 cents.

Well all that is a little too much conspiracy theoriest talk for my tastes...but to each his own.
I'd sooner just take responsibility for constructing a losing ticket while leaving off a blindingly obvious horse.
There's no winning on this for anyone so I'll let it go unless some other crazy angle comes up in subsequent posts, because you're convinced that Keeneland, Mike Battaglia, and Brooklyn Boyz were out to get you, and everyone else is convinced that reading the form is the best way to handicap. Again, to each his own.
