Well, Extraordinary One outran his odds with a decent 5th place finish, confirming he should stick to the turf and probably turf races under a mile. I think the horse got bullied out of position early by the 2 horse and then outrun by the 3 in the stretch after trying to go around him. I think with a better trip, he maybe gets up for 3rd and finishes off my trifecta bet. But…no such luck.
Not sure if they’ll take the turf races off after this downpour. If so, I’lll add an alternate bet. I like the #9 Burn Rubber at 15/1 in Race 5 in the event that Race 9 gets taken off the turf.
