Obviously hindsight is 20/20, but I thought Mother Russia was a really bad favorite. I was hoping that out of the 3 Rice runners (2 of them probably being near the lead), that the instructions for the 6 was to come from behind. It just didn't work out as the 3 ran got a great trip and ran big. But even if you didn't like the chalk in the second, not having her on the $2 back up ticket turned out to be a tough mistake. She seemed to be as big of a captain obvious horse as there is.
But congrats on the exacta and good luck the rest of the way.
