Absolutely no question Stud. I can name a thousand bets I won because some other horse got a bad ride or a bad trip.
Anybody see Quickfire get beat by Society Hostess a couple of Saturdays ago at belmont? I singled Hostess and she won by a head but Quickfire got cut off and blocked at least 4 times in the race and was obviously much, much the best. I was obviously lucky to cash on the wrong horse.
