It is just "a part of the game" on a Wednesday with 20k claimers.Not on B.C. DAY that people work hard to get a chance to go to.Look...Bordonaro and H HUGHES have combined to finish 1st or 2nd in 19 out of 21 races.Then suddenly neither can really threaten to come top 2,and a horse who has never been worse than 2nd is in trouble 3 strides out of the gate("can't handle track.") Don't forget (before you just brush this off like it's nothing) that Bordonaro's people paid good money to get into this,and they get a track that even the ultraconsistent Henny Hughes can't beat anybody on.I don't think this track was a "little off." What can be done? First figure out wtf happened in the 1st place.
