I'm with Andy on this one. I saw nothing impressive about Essential Quality's race today. Not saying it was horrible or even bad and taking into account that of course he wouldn't be set for his best today but that just didn't give me reason to be scared away if I had a living, breathing 3yo.

Mike Maker has to be the biggest juicer in the game at this point. He dresses like a homeless guy and is unassuming but at what point does someone look at the fact he horses have those Servis gears?

The very difficult Mike Maker late double paid $79? Really?

Also can someone explain to me how Maker turned Special Reserve from a 40k claim in February to one of the top sprinters in the country by July?

Not passing the smell test at all
