Sometimes the presence of an entry may signal a higher intent to win with at least one of the runners...a friend of mine said that if you see connections all dressed up, (like they are ready to pose for pictures) that is a good sign, what have you noticed...?

A friend of mine learned how to read lips...so he could decipher the conversations between the trainers and the jockeys in the paddock.
