As far as LaPenta goes, they were basically giving him the trophy before the race. Simon Bray thanked him for coming to Tampa(I guess thanking him for WP racing on TVG, very strange). I think he had his tail between is legs and tried coming up with a lame excused. As far as the horse goes, for the first time he didn't have a perfect trip. Got slammed out of the gate and never looked comfortable out there. Hopefully for the WP camp they could turn it into a learning experience. I think the race is a toss and if you still like him, maybe you will get a price on him in the wood.
