Lawyer Ron finished brilliantly in that race. Knowing the barn, and seeing Ron get that Late juice at monmouth, he was a must use in the win slot for the whitney(Ron,MagnaGraduate,DiamondStripes).
I mean yeah, wins and losses matter big time, but you rarely see a thoroughbred make a brilliant run (pretty much just Lawyer Ron,honey rider,english channel,AGS,ready's echo,twilight meteor...)
. The Woodward was the 3rd consecutive brilliant finish by Ron.
Whats hard to imagine to me is that this was a Grade 2 level horse maybe even g3! A little bit on the cheap side and as much of a fan favorite as he was he was a big jackpot Underlay waiting to happen. Now he is the best finisher in the handicap division!
