Thanks Ted
My point exactly
If Horse C is the bet or else

and my list is correct( I have no clue if it is or not)
but for now lets say it is.
Then every race these 4 horses run the order of finish would be
best to worst class horses ?
Of course not
Doc writes about how close most races finish
Anyone recall Doc writing about standing at the finish line
and blinking your eye as the winner crosses the finish line,
Then seeing how many horses finish pass the line
at the blink of an eye.
Races are not won in linear fashion
The best horse does not win by 1 length over the second best horse
who beats the third best horse by 1 length and so on
The difference between the finisher and the 4th place horse is often
very close and they don't finish in class order -If there is such a thing
So why must the best class horse be the bet
Anyway thats my stand on the class issue
I may be wrong to the masses here but I don't believe I am
