I thought this was a fun race to watch. I don't know times and the 3 horse was favorite but if anyone has time, take a look at this horse close.

Raine
That horse came from way back!
The very fast fractions 21.4, 43.3, and 108.1, and the added half furlong made the difference.
Nice race to watch!!
Thanks, Mike

@Bill - Honestly, I find playing and even watching races very monotonous. Very different then when I rarely might visit a track (Monmouth), say with a friend or relative (which is really just about having fun and reminiscing my childhood growing up there). So, every now and again, for whatever reason, a race just sparks some excitement. I didn't play this race, or suggest it for a learning opportunity (although, there might be one there), but rather just for the fact I thought it was interesting to watch the horse close as he did. Nothing "really" special I was trying to point out. Thx.

@Mike, I agree and glad you liked it.

I thought something like that had to be the reason, Usually when somebody post about a particular horse , The horse has won at crazy odds, I look at the past performances and try to see if there are any clues as to how this happened,

Obviously Emmit Park was no mystery, as it paid $3.20

I understand your post now, Hey I have many such memories myself of obscure races and horses

One of the horses changed the my hole attitude about myself and the methodology ,
That horse was just a bread and butter claimer , in a low level claiming race at Parx on a Saturday afternoon

It was name buffalo soldier I will never forget that race , He won and paid like 20 bucks
But to me the race will always be special.
