I really hope the horse is doing well.
But his morning scratch sure changed my Santa Anita wagering plans as I walked uninformed into the OTB 25 minutes before Derby time.
I elected to toss out Hollendorfer's
Chocolate Candy as I made my revised wagers.
That was tough for me to do, since Hollendorfer hails from my original hometown, and he's of course a NorCal fave trainer.
I just didn't think
Chocolate Candy would be able to get a piece of it, thinking the competition to date had been soft.
I was wrong, of course.
That's totally cool.
What really pis*ed me off was the ride Bridgmohan gave to the son of
Smarty Jones in the 10th at Gulfstream as I submitted to a whim to get my Santa Anita Derby loss $$ back.
Isn't Bridgmohan purported to be a good jockey??
Cripes....Bridgmohan had no sense of the pace, no apparent internal clock instinct, and erroneously thought he had a horse that didn't need any look at the rail for the entire mile.
What a screwball Bridgomohan was.
He's not riding any of my horses from this point.
