Every winner doesn't win

The 'move' doesn't always win.  But it runs second often enough at decent prices that the player can still profit. Such was the case with Ambusher in Gulf's seventh race.  The horse paid $12.20, $ 7.20 as runner-up to a first-timer. 

Minutes later, in the eighth Town Flirt, repeated the scenario at $11, $7.20. Sure, I would have loved to collect $30 on the win end. But, how much can you complain about 5-1 for second?  The 'move' is a monster!
