Richie,
In doing last nights homework I chose Saturdays card at TDN.
One of the low priced winners was in the third race. The finish was #1A, #7 and #1. The winner paid $4.40.
The #1 was the legit horse to bet down to 1/1.
The winner had never in his life been lower than 27/1 and in his ten listed races he had beaten only 17 horses total.
In looking him over I couldn't find any reason for this horse to get out of his own way let alone go wire to wire. If he hadn't have been coupled he would have paid well over $60.
I used to part own a few cheap claimers and when we had a horse ready to go we certainly wouldn't have coupled him with a favorite.
I would be willing to bet the horses connections were as surprised as the rest of the world.
