Hooves, been watching races for a living as an agent for quite some time now. I know some think I maye be extreme in my comments and I know many are just superficial watchers who wont grasp what i am saying, but I will step up your game Hooves!!!
I didn't use Bestowed but I will always watch a race dispassionately no matter who I bet or who I know in the race. Fact is Bestowed was probably best. Broke sharp and had great position into the turn. Instead of letting him run under a loose rein and letting the eventual winner clear off gradually and just holding his ground and stinging the winner a bit, Garrett overreacted and stood up and took a chokehold on him causing the horse to resent it, toss his head, and give up a lotta ground in just a few strides. Im grateful he sucks as I am alive in pik-4's but in reality you bet the right horse Hooves.
Unlike you guys, even if I win I will still tell you that you had teh right horse, and in this case you did. Gomez screwed you. Dickinson(trainer) now has 4 wins so far this year and its Memorial Day!!! LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Some master trainer genius he is huh?
