The whole thing is laughable......and frankly stands as a great example of the foolishness of so-called " backstretch info " versus watching races and handicapping. To anyobe who understands race watching, Doc Cheney ran very well in both his last two starts, and couldn't overcome bad race riding and circumstance. Today he had a new rider and a race filled with pace on a track that seemed to be playing at least somewhat fair.

It took a great ride to win it, and he certainly is no superstar, but if you paid attention you cashed. And, of course, didn't pay attention to absurd supposed backstretch jabber.

Nice Job Andy. I wish I had remembered this thread!! I totally forgot about this horse. 5-1 was pretty nice. Would have been higher had the entry scratched. Got a terrible ride last time out. Nice ride this time!

Thanks. It was a great ride. The horse deserved it after the last two horrible rides it got.

Hey Andy-

I missed the thread having a baby this week. First time father. Great analysis of the previous trips, jockeys, and field today. Throw this new Dad a bone and give out some more winning info. I'll take it by PM if you don't want everyone getting fat off of it. My baby needs some new shoes.

Great work.

It's actually sort of an old thread....but his first start back.

Congrats on the baby. That's great. Much more important than any winners.

Congrats Chris,
Now close your eyes and forget everything u ever knew about sleeping and sex.:)
I have an eleven month old.

Both the wife and baby are fine. We are home.

Sleep? What is that?

Andy, you are right, a healthy baby is more important than any winner. I consider myself a winner that we are all doing fine.

congratulations thorobred fan!!

your life will never be the same.
