6 gets left, with those PPs, and that trainer/jock combo and still beats the 1 by 5 lengths despite the 1 having a letter perfect trip. Now I know the 1 is no star, but I don't think it was a lot to ask for her to beat the 6 to the line all things considered.

Tommy one of my fave horses to play he's loaded w talent, I got excited last time that he maybe would get a jock change but the regular jock took off a horse in body of race to ride tommy who got In off AE. I won't mention that tommy was a billion wide on 7 different turns and lost 3,962 lengths of ground and still hit the ticket no I won't mention that. If tommy had an elite level jock he would have a lot more wins, not that you heard this from me.

If I owned him, I'd love him. I would love those 2nds n 3rds in those juice purse races.

As for elite jockeys on him, I don't know, I think he'd still find a way to lose

4, 2, 3


I can't bet the 5 after he inherited a fortune coming out of the turn, and went broke in the stretch...

4= interesting

2= may be his day today

3= hey, trainer is going well


ps - thought 7 was a logical reach , but looked at the last stretch run, he was the only one with proper leads and didn't exactly dominate

pps = 2-1 or whatever SM(currently 3-1) ends up at might be fair here. It's dangerous to get locked into a commitment of a horse as a 'money burner' to the point where you bet against the idea, rather than the horse. I like 4, and 2 fairly even here.

I agree with the BOLD!

To me this is a jock's race. If the 5 rates behind the 4, the 4 wins. 432 423. If the 5 goes or duels the 4, it becomes a bit wide open between the 372.

I'm hoping it's the usual NYRA race. Chokes, little flow and the 4 wins.

Me neither at 5-1 but he was the only horse I thought might be worth a shot here if the others got hammered and he was up closer to 8-1.

There isn't much to see on his form that would ordinarily get me the least bit interested, but the horse seems to be trying to do something totally different every time he's started. Five furlongs on a bad track, then over to turf, then back to a mostly dry main going the tough seven furlong distance, then a mile and a sixteenth on turf, then a flat mile in the mud, then a sprint...

The one time he ran a dirt mile, he had no shot in the race. Saddle slipped, rider left, doesn't count.

I think this may be what he wants to do and where they were trying to get him (well, seems like they thought he was going to be better on turf but whatever) headed with the early races and it just didn't quite work out. If he really wants more than anything to be a two-turn dirt horse that prefers a dry track - I think he might just break out here.

Used 34 in pick 6 and all picks but boxed 34 heavy . Hate those terrible unforseen gate breaks.
