woe the positional boys in the Saratoga feature today. Big favorite (OUT of the money) was a positional horse that couldn't match up with the velocities of the others.

Does this belong in this thread? Seems to be just what you phooyed in the other one. Fact is, there is more than one way to analyze pace and running styles and it benefits no one to pretend otherwise. Using positional in tandem with velocity is a proven method. One race doesn't negate that fact. No one gets all of them, and differing approaches get different ones. Remember, there are no rules.

Having observed betting up close and personal since that first day at the old Fairplex (when it really favored the front being only 4 furlongs around), on any given day, grandchildren's names, a funny name, a random pick of the same program number all day, etc. can win....Most of those patterns just don't last long
