Point Determined
 
Go figure, the horse I thought to be the best bet against yesterday wins and caps off a very short exacta in a race where I thought was wide open. I liked Arson Squad but another shorter than warranted price (5/2) led me away from making a win wager on him. Thought I would get between 5 and 6 to on this charge. Kept enough money in my pocket to go out and drown my sorrows in ice cream and coffee all night.

well he made me feel a little bit better yesterday bout the derby tim, although he had absolutely zero excuse in louisville he just didnt fire that day. i think the horse will only get better with time, might not be his daddy but still pretty damn nice

Gander, please enlighten me. I read your post yesterday, but I really didn't understand why PD should be a throw out. Did I miss something?

think this horse will , is a plodder. This will most likely be his highlight. Big gangly colt. It is what it is. I won't bet him again. He should of won going away.

I still think there is a lot of work to do with PD, but I do think there is some talent underneath that big clumsy colt. He can run forever and can become a top-notch handicapper in a year if he puts it together.

He was just faster than 2nd teir horses but not fast enough to win on the 1st teir.

He's fast when running a straight line and can finish, I just don't know if he's athletic enough to run on the turns. He always seems to lose position there. That's something I'm hope maturity will improve on.
