the futures certain

here's a little story

a jockey came in 4th on his mount's first race. his orders were 'not to give it a hard race'.

all the others in the field were also first time runners.

the jockeys trainer upon meeting him at the gate back into the paddock asked 'well syd, do you reckon you coulda beaten those in front of you, had you tried ?'

back came the reply 'yes gov quite easily but i'm not too sure about some o those behind me !'

moral
we can predict looking to the front but predict from the past (behind) is difficult

he he.
