Ralph Nicks isn't exactly John Shirreffs of 10 years ago - but he was 22% with debuters at a $6.39 ROI on paper coming in - and I don't think that stat includes his debut winner from a few days ago in the turf sprint. The ROI is so high because he had an $82 debut winner at KEE last year. Lion Heart is ok win early - and the fact that the horse sold for 11K as a yearling could be taken as a big positive ... because horses who sell that cheap as yearlings often debut for a tag when they go to a trainer who will place them aggressively.
I was hoping the horse would take money - She didn't so I pitched her.
