If you look at those 2 previous races, the horse looks tired from being in too tough. I know his previous was also a maiden claimer, and he is wide in there the whole way. He tried to rally outside on the turn, and simply tires. I don't think he ran better on the 30th because he wasn't asked. He saved ground against what appears to be a lot easier group. There's almost 4 seconds difference in the 4f split time. This looks like a guy letting his bro win a cheap race, and a 4% trainer covering for him. The jock isn't under a gag order is he? Why isn't he talking? I mean look at those last 2 races. Don't they look a lot tougher? Watch them. They are tougher races. That's a tired horse. Whip or no whip that horse was exhausted in those 2 previous. Trainer is gunna blame that on being hit? I know trainers are good salesmen, but wow!!
