And while I'm here thinking about it, I'm not really sure that he deserves his own thread, but watch out for Biachampion and Star Vector in their next races.
Biachampion didn't have a nasty visual trip like Larry did, but was definitely getting going and got shut off. He didn't make a dramatic check, but had nowhere to go. Once clear, he closed well and had run at the wire. He should be a fair price again next time, and wouldn't surprise me at all.
Also, Star Vector from a maiden race yesterday. GBBob thought it was worse than I did. Visually, it was a crazy big check along the rail as he was making a big move. Practically, the horse was never going anywhere anyway. It's not like he got shut off, he was given a crappy ride and was sent basically onto heels and then had the dramatic check. So I don't think he was winning anyway because the head-on shows he was never going to get through on the inside, if you can excuse the ride, he should be a threat next time out, albeit at odds lower than his 30-1 from yesterday.
