Thanks, 4/1ML off that dismal performance, I'm kinda surprised he didn't drift up to 6 or 7 to one based on the PPs.

Just for giggles, check out the PPs for Wednesday's feature race and guess when he was gelded.

His BRIS speed ratings for the 3 races so far are 61-92-97.
After the 61 speed rating where he finished 10th beaten 20 lengths he came back and was bet down to 7/5, won by two and then went to the Doc and picked up a bag of frozen peas on the way back to the barn

You're such a cynic.

You're such a cynic.

I normally don't hold grudges and the P5 only paid $150 that day, it's just that I hated being out after the first leg, felt stupid for being the only one that didn't get the memo!

All those days I've spent at EMD paid off today. Also the fact that I like horses turning back from two turns to 7f. What an overlay, I had the track feed on the computer going in the background while I was working and when the race began I was shocked he went from the 5-1 ML to 14-1.  Glad I thought to put a couple of dollars on him.
