Salty Robyn N finishes second as the favorite last week at the Meadows,then comes back this week and wins at 20-1 in the same conditions.Sure,there was a driver change,but Niatross wasn't in this field.
Exactly! The "Merriman/Palone/Burke" affect. Even if they have no shot on paper, they get bet strictly based on connections. Closing Statement went off at 1-1 for Merriman/Bendis and was also 2nd last out at 1-1. Completely get the board there...
High Impression was bet down to 2-1 for Ron Burke. He was 5th last out from poor post 9 and did make a nice move. The win prior to that was probably a more impressive performance. Also understand the board...
Salty Robyn N has made some nice moves and is a proven competitor at this class. Always seems to be there. I think the post draw and driver change back to Monti may have caused some reluctance to bet.
My guess is just the fact that Merriman had a very good one from post 5 that also looked good and Burke sent out one that looked like he was in good form. Over betting those 2 led to the overlay on Salty Robyn N.
With all of this being said, hope you had him Bigeastbeast and excellent find!
