Maybe Maragh will gun him out there.
You nearly got your wish. I think he was 8 wide around the first turn.

I didn't bet the race. I had absolutely NO IDEA what to do.

So, they apparently WATERED the **** out the track, given the way Lezcano was full of mud, and it took an all out gun on the 1st turn, an inside run by Castellano, and another poor finish by Lezcano to beat the best horse in the race.

Castellano has learned well following the Vulture Dominguez.

This has to be one the most disappointing major day of racing ever for me. How can anyone bet the Travers with any confidence?

On the other hand, I feel real good for Jimmy Jerkins. QR didn't win the Travers.

This day is just killing me. I change my originial play from the 7 on top with the 8, the DD 4/7,8 based on this f*ing track and it comes in and I have nothing.

Yeah. It's definitely a mind f u ck. I really liked Bank Merger and was going to bet him to win and under DM. Then Johnny V guns DM, given the bias, and BM runs HUGE to get 2nd. So, my result came in but how the **** am I supposed to make that play under the circumstances?

Watching the headon, it appears that Fly Down never changed leads in the stretch. Brutal, brutal trip.

I hear you loud and clear, my original play kills that race, but how can you play anything with confidence on this track right now? Everyone sees the bias. I had no idea they watered down the track before the race and how can you predict what these jockeys are going to do now they are all aware of the bias? You can't get any feel on positioning and it is a total f*n crapshoot at this point. It really sucks that this day was screwed this way.

To make matters worse, with the fiance away, now I am going to play some Del Mar which is a track that I have no feeling whatsoever for. I probably should start working on fantasy football.

Yeah

Why wouldn't I get run down last jump on the 10:1 shot?

It certainly looked like a different track but of course NYRA again only cards 1 route on the entire day so who can tell. Figure makers are going to have a tough time with that race.
