"for me he is a definite "bet-against" in this race. Off of a layoff this long we can't be sure that he will be back to his 2yo form in his first start, and for that matter I'm not sure that he will EVER return to form."

That is what I said about HH in a different thread before the race. Ha! Sometimes I am so bad at this game that it just makes me laugh.
Great performance.

One thing this game is so great at is serving everyone humble pie on a pretty regular basis. LOL

miraja,

first, noble of you to come back and post your own so wrong prediction. Second, just because this one came out wrong doesn't mean your idea was wrong. If you take the same kind of situation 100 times, maybe you'd be right often enough to be profitable. After the fact it's easy enough to feel brilliant or feel like an idiot. I don't see anything terribly wrong with your before-the-race thinking.
