Hossy, I'll do ya one better - I'm going back to 1930 here for the greatest upset of ALL TIME!!!!
Most people don't know this - but I consider myself the best authority when it comes to evaluating trips in horse races run in the 30's.
OK, we have the Triple Crown winner Gallant Fox! We have the migty Whichone who was the last horse to ever beat Gallant Fox.
And we have the hopeless Jim Dandy - 100/1 in a four horse field. He was 1-for-20 this year.....his only win came in this race - the Travers.
As an FYI, Jim Dandy finished last over 60 times in his pitiful 7-for-143 career.
But as you can see - Gallant Fox and Whichone hook up in a duel.
It sets up for Jim Dandy!!!
By the way Hossy, all the figure makers of the 30's had that crop running much slower than than they really were. I know because I went back and made figures for every race run at every track that decade.
