For those who don't know this guy's story, this mare was his first win since I believe 1993 (a 5k MSW at Beulah on 2/23), a streak of around 300 starters. He homebreeds all of his "runners" and they're completely inept, however he loves to put them in spots where they have no chance (this one is 99-1 on the ML.)

I don't remember seeing a 99-1 ML before. Even Olympic Chief was given the customary 50-1.
