Claudio A Gonzalez, Silent Appeal.

Thinking about our Racing Mantra thread (adding the mantra that this is an 'easy game'), i wanted to talk about Silent Appeal who just won the 7th race at Monmouth. He was claimed for 5k on May 12th. He was 9-2 Morning line, was 5-2 with 1 horse left to load, burst out of the gate to the front, went from 5-2 after the start down to 7-5 and wired the field and streaked home like a wild horse and won the lions share of a FIFTY FIVE THOUSAND DOLLAR PURSE. Yes, that's right, a 5k claim just won 60% of 55,000.

This doesnt seem like that hard of a game, all you have to do is claim a 5k claimer and win a 55k race and you're in clover for a really long time.

Congrats to Claudio A Gonzalez...whoever he is.

I looked over the MTH PPs this morning and noticed this horse. First, the race came up really soft - looks a lot like the 3rd race (5k claimers). Second, first time CG (as SRU says "whoever he is"). Third, he probably benefited from the last start.

He was claimed out of the race for $16k.

Wow, so they made like 35 or 40 grand in 3 weeks? :D
