Ledezma puts a BRAND-X rider aboard, gives her instructions, and away she goes. It's not illegal for trainers to bet--this attempt just didn't work. One look at Spud's pp's will tell you his connections use him for an ATM machine.
Some of you will remember BLUE BOMBER @ TUP recently---exact same maneuver with Natasha Coddington up.

i would be willing to bet he didnt tell her to lose on purpose, but going 46 she had no chance to hold on. you don't need to be 'lone speed' if you're just going to ride and instruct like that.
