Bad ride at SA

[the_fat_man]

Ummmm

You're kidding right? YOur guy sucked up the ENTIRE race, was being whipped on the turn, was behind horses in the stretch and gained a bit when he came out. BUT he wasn't beating the winner.

You know what 'GRRRRRRRRRR" means?

Fire up the replay and watch the trip of the 10, Monastery Scandal:

WIDEST on the BACKSTRETCH, stalking, inexplicably dropped to nearly last before the turn, CIRCLED widest, suddenly, into the FASTEST SPLIT of the race (the only one to gain) and just missed by a nose while not changing leads (again). Now, THAT was a BAD RIDE.

If you look at the chart, you'll notice that of the 11 horses in the race only ONE was backing up the last 1/8th. In other words, EVERYONe (save one) was running late. And you want to betback a horse that basically did the least bit of running?

May these two meet again next time.
