If you want to see what a horrible trip looks like - go back and watch On The Acorn's win in this race last year over dogs.
If any thread should be made about this race - it should be in regard to how the winner was hopelessly beaten by mediocre claimers in his last two races - without any excuse - and suddenly retransformed into his old self just like that.

3rd and the 4th at HWD today were both won by juicer trainers,and both looked like huge jumps in performance( for sure the 3rd race.) Mitchell has had a tough start to the meet,and I just think he had enough of the losing.What had he had? 2 wins,and 9 2nds? I really think enough was enough. Time to win some races.
