Personally, I'm not that big a fan of counter energy in the best of circumstances. It just didn't work well consistently enough to be a reliable indicator. Let me rephrase that in a way that is meaningful. I have lost a lot of money using counter energy horses for the second place in the exacta when that was the only reason to include such a horse in my exotic bet.

Thanks for explaining but keep in mind that the dph or designated place horse in Thoromation is not necessarily counter energy. It is the horse that makes the biggest move in the 2nd fraction. In this case 2 were sustained and the actual one that placed was early. Foxy could have been eliminated from the final look.
