In race 2, 3/4 of the much less "named" jocks rode way off the rai.....so it was obvious to those guys..
Ayala KNEW to ride the leader off the rail in race 2 at AQU but IRAD ORTIZ, hugged the rail like it was golden in race 2.
I didn't bet the 1, so please don't say that I bet him and he lost blah blah blah.
It's amazing how Irad finds ways to ride just so terribly, especially on possibly biased racetracks.
Draw your own conclusions but I just find it amazing, that's all I'm trying to say.

I have no idea why handicappers are sure that riders and trainers truly know a bias when one exists
The vast majority absolutely did not understand it when I was active and from what I see not much has changed.
But by thinking many or all do, it drives handicappers crazy wondering why some jocks did what they did or didn't do what they didn't do.
Just thought I would mention it.
Maybe it helps somebody.
