Mountain Race 9

[IrishofNDMan]

just taking a quick look and im kinda feeling the 5 Swiper the Fox at 21-1 with 3 mtp.

[ArlJim78]

not a bad play, he made a run for it.

[IrishofNDMan]

finished 4th, gave a little run but just not enough.

[IrishofNDMan]

ArlJim,

if you are looking at the mountain at all tonight, what do you think of the the 1 Medellin in the 10th race?

[ArlJim78]

oh i wasn't even looking or playing tonight.
i just saw your post in time to flip over and watch the ninth, so I don't have any opinion on the 1.

[IrishofNDMan]

decided to give the 1 a little play, see what happens.

[IrishofNDMan]

I'll give him a try next time out.

[ArlJim78]

i think you might have got fourth again.
at least you got a run for your money.

[IrishofNDMan]

I'm still new to handicapping and have a lot to learn, but what was he doing on that 1? He had him in a good spot on the rail and coming around the turn for home he dropped the horse back, then re-rallied on the outside. ?????

At the Mountain its pretty normal to want to rally wide, instead of up the rail.

For most of the first 5 months the rail has been death at the Mountain. You will almost always see the leader turning for home in the 4 or 5 path.

Thats because the leader is usually Stokes and hes scared to death to be between horses, or with in 10 feet of the rail
