If they go with a different variant for Bind's last start and adjust his 105 downward to a 95, and then assign a realistic regression of 10 points for this effort, the winner's Beyer would make sense today.

Claire Novak tweeted about how green he was being. Someone else responded to her that he was a handful on the backstretch. Did he get in his own way today?

Was VERY keen to go on early. He may simply want to one turn.

As usual - you're making no sense.

As for what Bind ran today - his figure will come back 1 point less than the horse who beat him - and 3 points less than the Lousianna Derby winner.

As for Bind's debut ... Ragozin and Thoro-Graph both had Bind's debut race as equally fast or faster. The 4th place finisher out of that race came back to win by about 6 lengths and improve his figure by 13 points.

Bind refused to rate today - he was in a MUCH slower paced race than his debut - he was fighting the jockey the whole way with his mouth open.

Good horses off of great debut wins - have flopped 2nd time out with no excuse. Theregoesjojo easily beat Quality Road in an alw race 2nd time out off a big debut win. Ghostzapper was 4th in an alw race 2nd time out off of a huge debut win. etc. etc.

Scrimshaw was cut out to be a pretty good animal at least!

But yeah, this race is a tossout.

This is my last post.....as a troublemaker. Only well-thought-out pearls from now on.

Zanjero is the most underrated racehorse since Dollar Bill.
