Thanks, PTF and Sean. These conversations are immensely enjoyable and enlightening. And Sean, if you ever decide to produce a product with your Hong Kong data, consider me signed up.
BTW, I was at Del Mar when Arrogate ran 4th in a 5-horse field in the San Diego Handicap. It was, as you thought, his first race after his superhorse performance in Dubai. Both the show pool and the place pool were bridgejumpers on steroids. In fact, before the race I pointed out the massive imbalances to my brother and explained to him why these are called bridgejumper pools. But did I get up and walk to a window and put say, 5 or 10 across on the four other contenders? Of course not! I sat on my hands like a dolt and watched some of the most ridiculous prices I’ve ever seen flash up on the tote.
Also, if you ever want to watch a couple great thoroughbred performances that, I’m guessing, may predate your handicapping time, see if you can find videos of Corey Nakatani winning the BC Sprint on Lit de Justice in 1996 and on Elmhurst the following year. Both were deep-closing sprinters, and both trained by Jenine Sahadi. Maybe not amongst the all-time greatest but damned exciting and impressive to watch.
