Past the Prime

[polambi]

Last week, sept 29th, I was playing Mountaineer...and in the last race, the morning line favorite was a 10 year-old horse. That got my attention because I had never seen a 10 year old racing before.
Instantly, I remembered an email from Ted, in which he told me that he didn't think an 8 year-old could repeat a great performance.
When I looked at the horse's running lines, I could not understand why he was such a big deal: he was not the top APV/CR and he was a sustain type in a short sprint race. So, I boxed him in an exacta with two other horses that looked better in my opinion. The other horses ran first and second, and the favorite was third. I pocketed nice exacta. Thanks Ted for that tip.
