Putting him into the race last out merely served as a foundation builder for the Travers....

For having no intention at all of winning those last three races of his ... he sure was bet like a mofo in all 3. Failing at odds of 4/5, 4/5, and 5/2 and taking certainly more money than I expected in his last two.

Yes, Yes, No, No
He's signifying a belief that he overestimated his colt.
