He might be Lure or Wise Dan, after all!<\/p>\n<p>Or do you take your chances with the big Second Bonkersmate winking at 30-1 on the toteboard? <\/p>\n<p>Those were the vial questions surrounding the eighth at Gulfstream Park Proper yesterday. On the one hoof, prohibitive fave Golden Rifle, odds-on was the second-ranked horse on your conventional V6 Betting Line, Fair Odds of 4&frac12;-1 in a contentious race. &rsquo;Rifle&rsquo;s LifeLiner Speed Column analysis score was an acceptable 83. <\/p>\n<p>On the other hoof, here was that Second Bonkersmate Shadow Rock, fifth-best on the Betting Line, no Fair Odds, but with a better LifeLiner Speed Column analysis rating, 89. <\/p>\n<p>Hoo-boy. What to do? <\/p>\n<p>This time, the public choice finished third, beaten almost 2 lengths by the victorious&#8230;Shadow Rock! Shadow Rock returned $62.80 to win. <\/p>\n<p>These are the dilemmas we must wrestle with every day as contentious-race specialists. If, by definition, the race is contentious, then we probably are not going to have to fear any kind of overwhelming public support on the fave. <\/p>\n<p>But the public is really good, especially with its odds-on horseys, who by definition win more than half the time. Is our contentious evaluation more accurate that the crowd&rsquo;s hyper-valuation of its beloved favourite? <\/p>\n<p>Answer that correctly time after time and win a fortune. <\/p>\n<p><strong>WMF Report<\/strong>: <\/p>\n<p><em>Early<\/em><br \/>\n<strong>Chas.
