I'll add another couple of thoughts, although this is always easier after the race.
I never ever totally dismiss a horse in their 2nd start.
Trainer rarely wins, but does have a positive ROI for the year.
An apprentice jockey who was 3 for 11 and 1 for 3 riding for Martinez.
Would I have picked this horse? I doubt it, but I would not have eliminated it either.
