Why is it desperate? I don't have any money on Caracortado. Because I think the horse is worth 50-1 means I'm desperate to explain that loss? Horses can overcome a bias. It's a tough task to overcome a slow pace, and a bias. Tap It Light COULDN'T DO IT. The horse who beat him in that 5th on 3/13 had never been able to hold on going 2 turns at Anita. No, not even with a crawling pace lead(maybe even a 1:14 or something.) So, you saw a big change that day. Then, you see Tap It L win a grade 3. Do you think that Bernstein trained horse is a grade 3 winning animal? I don't.
