Riding not exactly 'movers'



Not every 'move' is exact. Those that pay the most require some analysis, added justification and--most importantly--faith in the system.  Take MJ Plus at Parx, in the slop, yesterday. Horse had not run since December. Running line was a close to 'move.'  Jockey and trainer were non-factors--except for  trainer Scanlan's  stat success with route to sprints. MJ showed decent wet-track performances.

But, the horse was dropping to the lowest level in it's career.  Worth a wager? You bet.  $37 for an easy win--that NYRA Raceday  Ernie  'could never pick.'

It all starts with being willing to look for the 'possible' long-shot.
