AC and Omar back - strangely - with Masochistic at CD
Sop why have SoCal pairing AC Avila and Omar Berrio showed up on Derby Day with a maiden about whom they were investigated in March?

Before finding the article I wanted to play the horse, since it's odd for them to show up there. Now, I think I want to play him more, but anyone with more info about this?

Indeed. He opened at 3-2. If he stays there, it solves the problem.

Next lowest double: $36

Shocking result.
AC and Omar losing their touch a bit. Wasn't too obvious or anything.

Masochistic
Check out the video of his last race. This is a textbook example of a rider showing zero interest in winning a race. I thought Berrio was going to fall asleep at some point. Interesting he was DQ'd from 5th place purse money. Maybe the stewards thought the connections cheated the public.

This happens all the time, jocks "mail in" rides when the horse is either off a long layoff or a firster.
Nothing to see here.

"Racing" doesnt believe in real life laws, so, you can sorta do whatever you want.

This was blatant. There was plenty to see. This was a horse who showed today he could smoke the opening quarter in :21 flat. Berrio should've been suspended.
