Identifying Opportunities to Swing for the Fences with Longshot

Description:
Picking a longshot winner involves taking a chance.
You simply do not find 30-1 winners who look like logical selections based on past performances.
So, with those 30-1 shots, you generally have to fill in some blanks and hope you come up with the right answers.
Hunches can also come in handy … as they did with Hallucegenic in the 11th race at Gulfstream Park on Jan. 23.
It was a $20,000 maiden-claiming race on the turf and Hallucegenic was coming off an ugly 40-length loss in his career debut against $35,000 maiden claimers.
