Irad was snake-bitten today, I actually thought he had a real chance at a huge day too, but once he couldn't get that horse home in the 1st I should've realized the omen. Either way the middle of his day was ridiculous:
5th race - 2-1 fave drops him out of the starting gate
6th race - 9-5 fave clips heels & falls back to last a few strides out of the gate
7th race - slammed at start losing about 2-3 lengths at the break, makes a nice run late to lose by 2
9th race - has to dodge stricken horse who backs up into him, loses about 1-2 lengths of position, comes on late to lose by a length
10th race - Wit stumbles badly at the start, makes a nice run to be 2nd
Not easy to have that many things go wrong early in a race back to back like that.
Either way, Luis was the man this meet, congrats to him.
