When the entries came out and I looked at the field, my gut told me to bet him. I kept going over and over his past performances TRYING to find something that could help me explain putting money on him. I couldn't find anything. BUT I did put a little $4 win wager on him. I listen to my gut. Soemtimes it pays off and sometimes it doesn't.
Hey he seems to always be 1st or 2nd and there is no Esk in this race. IIts a crap shoot today and JB has a chance.

I agree. He was considered a top three-year-old prospect and had the misfortune of running into the nation's best in his last two. With no monsters in here, I think he merits a good chance.

I like this little horse a lot, he tries so hard - it's like he refuses to let another horse pass him in the stretch. I'm not sure he'll be sitting near the lead as they come around the final turn but if he can he'll be ITM.

If the top two today are Jackson Bend and Sidney's Candy, I will have had a very profitable day, most of my bets are keyed around those two.
