I never will forget Tyler Baze standing up before the wire and getting beat for show by a nose and cost me a $6k trifecta. He was on the favorite trying to wire the field. He gets passed by my 18-1 shot whips the horse, then passed by my 35-1 shot and gives up. Stands up in disgust and gets caught at the wire. Had it twice for $1 with him in it. 2nd choice that I didn't (saved money) like nips him because he quit riding. sure the horse was done but did he have to stand up before the wire?
If I see Tyler up I don't bet 'em. (then he leads the meet)
on topic of Corey Nakatani.. I usually bet the horse. I think Victor Espinoza got one of his mounts and won the race.
