I thought Slew's Tizzy was a piece of junk. He broke his maiden at Turfway on a wet day when the track was playing faster than usual. They throw him in over his head for two stakes and he ends up here... I thought he had no chance. Actually looked like a bigger animal with these today.
How many times does a bomb come in with blinkers-off and a strong workout?
Starbase is a Tale of the Cat so he is bred for this track although the early speed was a big turnoff.
Speed was either carrying or nobody good was closing and the horses who weren't held back early had the best trips...
