The El Cajon was the easiest one to handicap for me on the whole card.
Brother Derek and Bob and John were both coming off grueling Triple Crown efforts. They had every reason to look suspect on their first start back.
Cindago earned a 98 beyer as a 2 year old showing he had talent. He had bullets on his worktab. By placing him in this race, his connections seemed very confident in his ability to me. He was rested and ready to fire.
When I looked at the 2/5 odds on BD I thought that was insane! Who would waste money at 2/5? You'd barely get anything back if he did win anyway.
