Which also made her a bounce. Like I said, all weekend long I keyed against heavy favorites who lost, but was not able to nail the winner. Its very frustrating when that happens, to be in the right Church but the wrong pew. I never make final decisions until I see the numbers, late scratches, and track bias or lack of one. In Buzzards case the minute I saw the numbers I went WHOA!! and tossed him. Lot of good it did me.
Oracle, How long between races do you think a horse needs before you throw out the bounce effect and is Buzzards Bay a Front runner type horse?
