a couple for santa anita 12/28

[lg1965]

diamond miner had been up against better before he got down to the 25k level, had a placing at 62.5, never had cleared before, and was cutting back. our boy here in the 8th has cleared a couple times, at shorter, and been unable to hold on. he looks to be the type where something is going to always catch him before it's over. he looks like he'll win someday, and will probably light the board today, but that last furlong has been big trouble for him.
