there is a bridgejumper in this race as 41k of 51k in show pool is on LBT

the pool doesnt add up correct though, must be a twin spires error as each other horse has under 1k to show on them.

1 -279
2-44615
3- 256
5- 425
6 - 214


edit: the correct show amount is 57k of 58k according to live feed

They might be net pool pricing, which does things differently. I have no idea what it means just that it helps the track against bridgejumpers.

$120k of $127k pool

So close...LOL

Time to put this silly story to rest.

exactly - it really was a non-story to begin with.

I wonder if he wishes he sold. The offer of 500k seemed a little unrealistic, but he might have been able to get low six figures for her.

C'mon....have some respect for crying out loud! Booby Trap is named for his favourite titty bar....

I was hoping she'd win and become a heavy favorite next week...I'm going to guess he isn't going to try a bigger race anymore after this race?

Exactly there 15 minutes of fame are about up.

Oscar Gomez was trying way too hard. He absolutely rode the hair off of her early to keep her close to a pace setter who - from a pace figure standpoint - runs graded stakes caliber like first quarters and always stops. The whole race was filled with speedball stoppers.

You can blame the trainer for riding an 8% jock at Finger Lakes and not recognizing the race shape.

If the trainer simply tells his jock "everyone in this field is capable of running a spectacular opening quarter. They can all go 21 and change on the lead -without urging - on a track that's no faster than par. Don't panic at all if they're sharper than you away from the gate. They'll knock heads - they have no other choice - you stay out of it. Own the final quarter mile! That's the important thing, they'll all hit a wall at the quarter pole and so will you if you gun her after they outquick you from the gate"

He tells his rider that - and she wins going away.

Instead, he guns up two lengths off of a 21.66 first quarter - that quarter set by the eventual last place finisher - a stopper whom I believe has one of the faster Moss pace figures I've ever seen.

I don't think net pool pricing effects the pool totals, or for that matter doesn't help the track and the other horses pay higher

It doesn't affect the totals, but it does matter in where the takeout, is taken out. I read the details of it and I still get confused, like many, I haven't made a show bet in 25 years so I really have no idea

[robfla]

geeeze - they sure sweated that one out!!!
