I'm no trainer or owner or any behind the scene track person but I had a feeling something wasn't right about Bonus Pack being entered in this race and now I think I'm upset. On paper (DRF pp's), this horse looked suspicious being in this race. His BSF's were the best by far, he was dropping considerably and he hadn't had a work since his last race (on 7/2, he was leading by a half at the top of the stretch and lost by 8.75 and finished 6th) -- simply, he didn't belong in this race. It appeared he was dropped to be claimed. I'm not saying the trainer knew he was hurt but it all looks real suspicious. I feel sorry for the person who claimed him today. But more importantly, I feel sorry for the horse and the people who cared about him.
