Bryan Pena on
Gianis in the 9th at Santa Anita on Sunday, February 12.
Gianis was 30 to 1. Pena figured out that all the favorites had gotten themselves into a massive speed duel, and took his longshot back, saved ground all the way, and waited for the pace to fall apart. When it did, he was able to find a seam in between tiring horses and outdueled a 5 to 1 shot in the final 1/16th. Great job on a longshot.
