Not sure what more he can do, the race was a total waste to judge after the fractions.

Isn't that what bettors do? We judge the race. The pace was a crawl. Somehow Rail trip was farther off than he should have been and uncovered and wide the entire way. He rode the horse like he couldn't lose and he did.

He still should have won, but that was not one of Bejarano's better rides IMO.

R3: $81.60
R4: $4.00
R5: $159.20

$63,331 was in the pool, and it only paid $5,500, so 11 tickets.

11 tickets had this thing, that seems high for the way the combo sorted out.

parlay was $12k for a buck, and honestly the favorite in the middle was probably worth less than $4 in the pick-N pools. All-heavy fave-All is probably a common play in that situation.

It would have been a $70 ticket, I can't see it...And that horse was a firster who obviously figured but I still think it is very light

I think he should have been up near the lead but Bejarano can be kinda cute like that, that was a mistake.

After that though not sure if there was a chance for him to alter the strategy.

I don't think Rail Trip is a true 10f horse, the race did not change my view of that.

So he made a mistake. Good, we agree.

what did you think of the ride the place horse got in the last race at belmont today? if ya saw it

So speaking of rides, I thought that was a very crafty ride by Pedroza on EZ Gentlemen in the Triple Bend.

What a decision it has turned out for Zetcher to turn his horses to Baffert.

Did you watch the head on?

I thought the horse was unlucky to lose. Should have won, but when 2 holes close I'm not sure what else could have been done.

Rail trip actually had an ok trip and took the lead briefly when Awesome Gem had to duck to the rail and accelarate past Rail Trip. I think Awsome Gem would have still won the race had he got Rail Trips trip. He was just better today.
