The only thing I can say is there's still plenty of money to be made trip handicapping when so many people believe chasing 22 and change while 5 on the first turn is 'perfect position' and then he's supposed to draw away like a wonder horse in the stretch. Granted Bob is great and his horse ran a peak effort in the Derby but this loss was more about the difference in trips. Personally I'd ditch Franco too, you don't heave your weight around like that asking for a lead switch, that's just ham-handed IMO. He'd ride nothing for me after seeing that.
