One residual benefit of researching 'monster-move' long-shots is familiarity with jocks who tend to ride for a price. Bad weather shut my normal tracks so I added Tampa Bay to the menu. In race 5, I was relatively confident that mover Hi-Tech Dave was going to run well. So I automatically bet across the board and exacta boxed the 8-1 shot with the favorite. Then, I noticed Jock Pedroza (a favorite long rider) atop an impossible 53-1 shot. What to do? What would you do? Enough to say I was more than rewarded for Hi's second place finish.
Ditto in Gulfstream's seventh. Where Hallowed's second place finish was more than sufficient. And, I ain't just talking place and show prices. The 'move' is a monster when it hits.
