Astute punters might have backed some Peter G. Moody trained winners at very nice odds last Saturday.
For example, Dissident was a $15.00 TF winner of the Group 1 Memsie Stakes at Caulfield and Weinholt won at $13.00 at Rosehill.
Over the years I have enjoyed backing beaten favourites that were unlucky and getting much bigger odds than when they were favourites!
Consider these points about Weinholt:
1. The 4YO gelding finished 7th. two weeks earlier at the same track over the same 1200 metres distance as this race starting as the $4.00 favourite.
2. Good form guides told us it was caught wide with no cover and had no luck.
3. This race Weinholt was also down in class from a Rating 90 handicap to a Rating 85 handicap.
4. It had a top trainer - Peter G. Moody.
5. Weinholt was an outstanding bet in this field of 12 and the $13.00 on offer was luxury odds!
