Yesterday's NAP Atlantic City finished second at Perth, beaten a neck by Bold Light at 16/1. She went off as the 5/4 favourite, ran her race, and was collared on the line by a 16/1 shot who produced a career-best effort. Those who followed the each-way recommendation collected on the place part of the bet.
Being beaten a neck as favourite by a 16/1 horse who ran the best race of its life is one of racing's inherent uncertainties — no selection process can predict when an outsider significantly outperforms its market assessment. The form for Atlantic City was sound, the race unfolded as it should have for most of it, and the better horse on the day won.
