Thanks Ginger. I also appreciate the pre-race analysis you do from time to time, such as on the Hennessy Gold Cup.
One thing I would add is that I try to figure out why a horse has been entered for a particular race. For example why is Balthazar King entered for the Hennessy? Presumably Philip Hobbs thinks he has a better chance than the 140-1 NRNB on the exchange. But if he thought that then he and his staff would be entitled to back him, so the price ought to reflect what the Hobbs stable think of him, which suggests he is really a no-hoper after all.
