When a Bad Effort Leads to a Big Win

Description:
Everyone has a bad day every now and then, and sometimes that rough day can lead to an extremely nice day in the near future.
The lesson here is that one bad effort should not be reason enough to discount the chances of a horse who had been in solid form prior to that, especially if the odds are right.
Sometimes, there’s an obvious reason for that surprising loss. Perhaps a bad trip or fractions that worked against the horse. Other times a poor outing can be a sign of downward spiraling form cycle and sometimes bad efforts just happen for no apparent reason.
