I've only glanced through the race but he seems about 7th or 8th best with a cursory look.

He's still a pretty good horse, even off last year, and making his debut in this spot is baffling to say the least. I'm sure they would have written a race for him in NY.

It's hard for me to blame Tagg for the foolish spots this horse continually races in, as he's just too good a trainer to be this consistently wrong, but whomever is to blame should be ashamed of themselves. How about a confidence booster?

Sure, he should win, but this is the exact type of horse that I play against regularly: an overbet closer. Haven't seen the odds yet, but I can see a few horses in here that will offer pick 3 value as mostly all i play are pick 3's and 4's.

the 4,7,8, and 12 come to mind

thank you, and about funny cide, i think me thinking he can win, is also more of my heart wanting him to win.... alot more then me actually thinking he can get it done, but i trully do belive he could have a few years of solid run in him if they can get his confidence back
