Just inflates his odds if your planning on betting him in the classic.

I'll be surprised if we ever see him again.

I hear what your saying about the start of the 1 1/4 races. And the fact that they load from outside in really puts that first fraction in a league of its own. I still dont like the way he was travelling, just never looked comfortable..

But for the fact that Rail Trip's a gelding, I'd agree completely. He had an aluminum pad on, (opening at 10-1) the board said that Rail Trip was "dead," and he didn't even gallop out to the turn on Saturday.

Turn him over to Jonathan Sheppard and make him a jumper or something. . .
