Default 2/12 (AQU 10th): Jello Shot

In the Big A nightcap 2/12 ($7,500/N2L), Pat Kelly's JELLO SHOT was likely best at 9-1, but encountered difficulty that compromised his chances. Attempting to rally from the back of the pack, Jello Shot lost significant ground off the turn when CC Lopez was forced 6-7 wide in response to a near-spill. Once straightened, he closed on the leaders compellingly, falling short at the wire by a diminishing length. The chart and comment ('6w top lane, good kick') doesn't reflect the situation that helped prevent his winning the race.

Sorry that I didn't see that you had already posted this before I posted mine....by weeks! $10.20 will due. Thankfully Ramon was on Ex Pat....otherwise it would have been $6.20.
