View Episode Notes →
Narrowing Early Bets to Capture Value in Multi-Race Pools

View Episode Notes →
How Market Overreaction Creates Hidden Value in Horse Racing
A chaotic race doesn’t reward speed--it rewards positioning. The real edge goes to those who see that market overreactions create hidden value in horses like Civil Liberty and Bright Picture, not because they’re the fastest, but because others’ misreads build moats around them.
