It was poor betting whether or not he stumbles at the start.

Sounds exactly like what I did in the Forego. It was not bad gambling, Sniper. It was bad luck. One thing we cannot foresee in horse racing is when the gate opens that you know you have already lost because of a bad break...especially in sprints. It is just bad luck, not bad handicapping much of the time. Betting on Arazi in the Derby was bad handicapping....Guilty as charged.
