I recall profiting nicely betting against European invaders running against our horses, such as when English Channel was favored.
Just guessing the South American angle you reference in Florida may be a side effect of recent politics in the racing industry down there and an effort to increase the prospects of full fields in the starting gate.
I personally avoid contributing to the handles in Florida, Louisiana (excepting Fair Grounds), and Oklahoma, due to their resistance to drug reform/testing and propensity to be cowboy chemists who use running thoroughbreds as pincushions. I much prefer the more progressive minded horse friendly tracks in the northeast and on the west coast.
There is a huge difference between people with horses and real horsemen, the latter being a minute minority. Gratified to see Kentucky moving in the correct direction.
