I didnt have him the first time but I did have something on him the second time. Thats one play I look for, a horse going off at big odds that just won, or had a much improved effort last time.

Does anyone know what happened to Cruz Contreras? I don't know if he was the jockey on mynameischase but for whatever reason it made me think of him and I haven't heard his name in quite some time. We used to call him "the cruiser".

well the horse was such long odds becuz of his form and the trainer, who wins 2 races a year in chicago at the most every year.........cruz probaly plugged that sob in real good LOL

'Chase hadn't finished in the same zip code as a race's winner in something like 10 straight races. I mean, we're talking 25-40 length drubbings everytime. All the sudden, he perks up and wins paying something like $250.

Then his form actually came around and stuck until Arlington where he won again.

And then he pretty much dissappeared!
