Motion has no luck, if he were a rabbit he couldn't find his own feet.

I think you need to watch the race again.

Now, maybe you could have said this horse would have won with a perfect trip, but there is absolutely a horse that should have won and was denied victory.

Keertana?

Yes, with a clean trip she gallops.

I don't disagree, however, about Oculuna.

I'll be betting the 7 next time out. I would think (after today's performance) that the connections won't have much difficulty getting a jock that's NOT RETARDED to ride her. (Of course, this assumes that the connections are aware of her trip --- perhaps a HUGE assumption )

It's too bad the Keeneland meet ends on the 25th, would have to think these 3(trip horses)would have met in an 1X race if it had happened earlier in the meet. The comment lines are almost sure to not accurately reflect what happened in the race.

Follow up -

In her first race since 10/15 at Keeneland, Keertana was a good but no excuses second this week to an impressive winner, Oculuna wasn't a factor this day.

He's plenty lucky and a damn fine horseman (on the turf). His problem is that he thinks he can repeatedly do the very difficult on the turf: stretch out a sprinter. No one is good at that (even on the bush tracks).
