Should have been 4th public choice in the 4 Star Dave, but weird inside money had him taking 2nd most behind false favorite Yoshida in multis and then in the actual WPS betting. Ran best and only lost because Voodoo Song surprised and held on longer than expected. Was that an insiders 'betting coup' thing? Or has this horse suddenly moved forward for good, and is a lock to win or contend today?
Jose ran that Arlington Million he had absolutely no idea of the track/1st-turn configuration. Post 9, right near the 1st-turn, and no plan whatsoever? Puzzling ride. It was good for team Brown's 3 or 4? contenders, but hard on the horse and Lynch. I guess it's one of those things you just 'take' if you're Brian Lynch. He didn't publicly trash Ortiz's puzzling ride or even quietly remove Ortiz from the mount going forward. Tough to do, all things considered(enjoys shipping horses into NY for stakes, etc...) I guess. And, - he could well win today with a return to his good ride.
these two, and the two foreign shippers seem to be the most likely contenders, but the value isn't great.
Want no part in betting this race. Mildly interested in seeing how these 2 weird form horses do.
