how does PT get shoulder to hip without a hole there ? and down the stretch Martinez brought Ball Four off the rail further confounding PT.

Kent D. made his move a little early . They usually wait for the lead horse to go wide out of the turn and shoot up the rail. KD evidently thought this was happening and he could shoot up the rail when Ball Four came back inside and "shut the door " on him, as KD said on camera. IN fact Ball Four did come out , out of the turn and if KD had waited a bit more , the hole would have been much bigger. KD is known as a guy who expects others to get out of the way when he yells he's coming thru. I was suprised though that PT was not sent from the gate out of the 1 hole though, not wanting to get into a duel with BF I guess. We all missed the wedding at Saratoga and came for the funeral at Turfway ! That Poly confused me the whole day too. I was less than confident as the card progressed with 2K p3's the norm.
