Why would the time of a race 5 days later be relevant?

Same track variant both days. It’s not like it’s 5 weeks later. Chances are that it’s probably close to the same track.
How is he making up the 5 lengths the 12 hoss whipped him ? Just because they paid $240K for him , does not mean he is all that and a bag of chips.

I could care less about his cost. The reason I love him is pretty obvious. Simple trainer stats back it up. He is the best in the game 2nd out. The horse showed me enough speed and enough overall in debut. He rolls Friday.

The lock of the year is Chad Brown having an INSANE amount of barns filled to the brim with talent. WOWZAS!

Lock that man up for monopolizing turf races! Sheesh!

Tough race to have a "Lock" in......but I will be playing the inside runner. Sometimes it isn't just solely 2nd out stats but more the dichotomy between the 1st out 2nd out numbers that tell the story. Tomilinson is, to be kind, poor with firsters.....but excellent next out. I also wouldn't be afraid to use the 2. Took money 1st out and this trainer, while fine with firsters, always get them to improve. Lanerie leaving isn't exactly a ringing endorsement though.

I will be playing Dagneys Warrior in this race, going outside to inside, with the aforementioned trainer numbers.

Best of luck!
