He was obviously the main rival, but there was nothing to say that Affirmatif was weak. Golden Mexico should have been the clear second choice. The only other slightly interesting horse was the larry jones horse, just because you have to respect him as a trainer. Weak shug horse, weak speed horse Kent D was on... the Attfield foreign horse was so cheap...
They were looking to prep this Golden Mexico horse for some stakes
not the first horse irwin got from his Italian connections.
should have been around 9-2 or 5-1 in this field (with Affirmatif at around even money).
