GP 5th 2/16: #12 Boss Man

[ateamstupid]

Hopefully they'll be on the turf tomorrow, otherwise this is obviously for his next turf start. I've been waiting a while for this one to run back, so there's a layoff to consider, but in his debut:

He broke slowly, was extremely rank in the first 1/4, taking him to last and 3-wide around the clubhouse turn, was still well back and wide on the far turn while the winner was making his move, drifted in early stretch, finally got rolling around the 1/8 pole when Chamois came to his inside and beat that one to the wire to be a distant 2nd behind the sharp winner.

Coming out of that race, the winner unfortunately hasn't been seen since, but the horse who ran 3rd improved his Beyer by 8 points in winning his next start, the 4th horse has run a faster number in each of his next three starts and the 5th horse ran +12 on the Beyer scale in winning his next turf start.

6-1 ML seems about right considering there's a Pletcher, a Clement, a Chad Brown and a Romans in the race.
