U wouldn't toss him from the win end? A horse that has won exactly ONE grade one race in six years of racing? A horse that finds a way to lose every single time it appears that he's going to win? Not knocking the horse as a hard trier and a very consistent type but let's be real here. In the past three years, he's won TWO races, an allowance and the grade two Washington Park Hcp. Include him in all the exactas and tris that u want to but putting him in the win spot is throwing away money. I don't care how much trouble he had (doesn't he always have an excuse?), u have to be able to beat Ball Four if u expect that u are going to be able to beat the real heavyweights in the game. Especially considering that it was Ball Four's first race in five months and he was winning his first career graded stakes race.
