New Pimlico Analyst

[Calzone Lord]

There was a monumental dead-rail bias at Presque Isle Downs in the second season of racing. It was a habitual thing, day in and day out...and it went on for weeks.

After weeks, the only jockey left in the room who still failed to recognize it was Fogelsonger. He was taking EVERYTHING to the inside, and no one was close to him. It was a joke.

The fields weren't even that big and post position number 1 had lost over a hundred straight races. Mike Luzzi came in to ride a strong favorite in a stakes race who was lone speed from post #1. He had never even rode the track before, and from simply watching a few replays of races earlier on the card... he sent the horse leaving the gate, took him out to the 4path in an instant, and went wire-to-wire.

Luzzi is no rocket scientist... but from simply watching a few replays, he had a better understanding of what was going on than someone who had been riding the track all along.

Fogelsonger didn't even make it through a full meet here.

Forget 22-year-old ... a 12-year-old girl would make a better analyst than he would. He may have won a lot of races riding in the Mid-Atlantic ... but it doesn't take a lot of thinking to do that.
