2. Runs second race from 3 month lay-off at Sar - 1mile 1/16 turf and showed some early pace, faded at 21-1, no Lasix
3. Runs third race from 2 month lay-off at Bel 6F Turf and shows improved early speed on fast pace, fades at 28-1, 1st time Lasix
4. Today's race is only 14 days since last, back on dirt at Aqu 1 mile, still straight MDN, part of an entry who scratched, adds blinkers, jock switch to Trujillo, 2nd time Lasix, 2nd off layoff, who's trainer is 10% +3.03 ROI, shows early speed and takes lead into turn, WINS drawing off by 8 at 40-1......
Did I have it?.....NO...Will I learn to pay more attention to Lasix?....Hope so.

I think it was much more likely the first time blinkers than 2nd time lasix. If the horse wasn't adding blinkers today I doubt very much that it would have won.
