Look to the charts, for longshots

How do you pick a $50 winner without the move? Look to the charts. Having been at a loss to find a good 'mover' at Fairgrounds in the past few days, I was getting restless. While investigating the 12/20 card I noticed Geniver in the first race. She had been disqualified at Churchill on November 26, elevating my 'move' choice Griding Miss to first at $43.60 and a healthy exacta.
A review of the result chart showed that Nadisheko, entered from the same race, had suffered significantly from Geniver's antics--enough so, that I wheeled Navi in the daily double. She romped, paying $50.60.

Happy Holidays to all, and better handicapping in 2009.
