Then I realized that perhaps Mike Chambers (Z Humor's WA trainer) on dirt is not necessarily the same as Mike Mitchell on dirt. This all dawned on me about 100 yards before the wire.
I realized (after reading the 3rd or 4th post in this thread) that he also had successful bullring experience 2 years earlier at Delta Downs.
He should have been the favorite.

Really? I wouldnt bet him again if they ran the same race at the same track in 3 weeks. I think 13/1 was an underlay but wish like heck I bet him!
