The horse who beat him today is nothing special - but he's run back-to-back mid 90's figures without real easy trips ... and today it was a certainty that he was going to get a dream trip - controlling a slow pace from the outside of a hopeless quitter.

Surprised that exacta paid 6/1. Outside of the two Zito's - everyone else looked hopeless.

Yeah, the exacta was insanely high. First of all, the winner should have paid less than $8, but given that he did, the exacta should have been, at most, 10% higher than his win price, at least mathematically.

Best value in the game....heavy favorite second to a medium priced horse.
