that was a rough race
I'll review the
's trip for betting purposes later (he was taking money today).
All I caught live was the taking a hard demonstrative left hand whip, and then reacting by lugging out to strike another horse.
won and started a 3 or 4 race string of chasing/hedging daily doubles for me.
Ortiz did a great job of keeping the 7 going when he or she looked empty late. A lot of riders would have given up.
Also great job on Salsa or Zalsa or whatever in the last race... He was patient and coaxed the horse early in what turned out to be a dream trip. Needed every bit to get the distance late.
Nice job by the Ortiz bros in general, especially 5 through 10 or whatever
