Something like that. But don't let that stand in the way of the significance of a horse having been favored in a major race. If St Trinians had been only the morning-line fav for the Big Cap, would the zaniacs still bring it up?

I wonder if Anabaa's Creation had ever been favored in any major stakes events?

of course. Zenyatta ran down the morning line favorite of the Big Cap, St Trinians.

Davidowitz article would have been better either not using that at all, or at least saying she ran 6th.

Incase it was missed, he also complimented Rachel, Blame, and Rail Trip.

And the Big Cap favorite finished 6th! St Trinians is a nice mare and probably 2nd best in the West (tho Blind Luck is good)... But by calling her the "big cap favorite St Trinians" is just insulting to people who have a functional brain.

"6th place Big Cap finisher St Trinians" could be a real statement... and sure she really was the favorite, and she ran 6th, so WTF does being the favorite mean? The betting public did a terrible job betting that race? I really cant believe Davidowitz used that in his article... but I guess I believe anything now-a-days.
