Castellano can get him 4th or something if he is very patient and closes late. His recent success near the pace works against him. This isn't the Sam F. Davis chasing a slow pace. |
I doubt this will make you feel better But I HATED this horse's chances as well. I told Tina as they were walking into the gate 7-1 was a laughable underlay and I'd give twice that to anybody who wanted.
As many of you know I'm a ThoroGraph guy through and through. I thought it was going to take somewhere around a negative 1 or 2 to win the race. Catholic Boy had just paired 4's.
Yes. A very strong pattern (with rest) that can produce new tops. But 7-1 on a horse drawn outside that needed to run a 6 point top?
Still can't figure out how he dominated like that.
Gotta tip my cap to the winners and move on.
