I just watched an unraced two year old backed from around fifteens to $2.35 for the first at Flemington on Saturday.

Well, good luck to it and the connections, and especially anybody who did get the $15. I love a successful sting as much as the next punter.
But I'm a hardened old bettor, you know.
I missed fifteens. And twelves. And I have never heard of the colt anyway.
His mum went to stud a maiden.
Well all right, they all do, but you know what I mean.
Two babies, one a winner.
Mum had a great Dad (Flying Spur).
Dad is the fantastic Lonhro.
No worries on those scores, then.
But I've never seen him, and more to the point you haven't either.
SO... don't back him at 6/4 or less, whatever you do. You've missed the price.
Let's just watch and see what we learn from this.
Oh yeah and that "con" bit I started with up top...
Would you be all that shocked if it's a bookie-inspired job? Like, would you faint?
That's just a silly thought, mind. Of course these things don't happen, do they?
