Yeah, I've felt like Charge It has been overrated by the intelligentsia ever since his big figure win on a track I thought was conducive to a performance like that. But if you had reasons to try beat Cody's Wish (as I did) he fit close enough to the others and has done his best running on the lead. I thought it was a no brainer to be aggressive and go again in that field. Giant Game had some speed, but imo he was lower quality speed and had benefitted from a biased track last out. When he didn't go, that sucked.
I don't mind losing, but playing a horse I've long thought was overrated and losing to a horse I've long thought was underrated, played last time, and thought was likely to improve under Dutrow was a bit much after keying against Munny's Gold and playing Maple Leaf Mel over Pretty Mischievous and Dorth Vadar.
Next!!
