It now seems pretty obvious that this race was written specifically and only to help out the owner/trainer of Unbridled Danger.
It's not like that guy hasn't done some favors for the racing sec. - he ran him 24 times last year - and already 4 this year.
Unbridled Danger has now missed the exacta in 31 straight races.
Today was his 51th start for owner/trainer Robert Young. In those 51 races, he was never a shorter price than 6/1. Today he was 3/1 on the ML and went off at 4/1 because the conditions of the race made it as easy as humanely possible for him.
Have to credit the racing secretary for cleverly and sneakily finding a way to give the guy his best shot.
