Imagine how much he wins by if only they added a few fences.

I had Ethical 5th w/ my projected TG # before analyzing what they\'ve done.  Here is my top 5.  Based on best fig at dist last 12 mos and factored to Thopattern.  Just a tad behind fav MiniHK.   FYI below.  I went with Aidan and Appleby so no victory for me.  Plus, jky had never ridden him.

Sometimes strange wins it .
 
A few pundits on twitter gave that horse a big shout out, with rationale.

Are they the ones that drove his odds from 47 to 25-1 as they were loading?
Someone check the tattoo.


Good Luck,

He made a case for the horse. Ruined my day. Looked at him once and never gave a second look. When he crossed the finish line, I had to look to see who he was. Just like Rich Strike.

On a side note, Absurde in the Melbourne Cup tonight has the same owners & trainer.

Tinky like everyone else comes up with some good stuff occasionally

I thought it dropped a little earlier, but based on the BC live feed , looks like it was a very late punch

   Can tell you it took big money on the exacta too.  

   I have some non obvious theories about some of this money , but no doubt, this was a strange one.
