track bias makes for big priced winners coming off the bias. I love a bias. you know which riders are aware of it and which ones have no clue. It is really a HUGE factor. Of course when you have a bunch of sharp guys blabbing it to the masses, it doesn't help.
Quick story, Me and my brother are running this hoss at suffolk. He ain't much, but we got him as good as we're gonna get him. The track has a wicked outside bias. The kid comes out, pretty sure it was Teo Perdomo, we're in the 10 hole going a mile and 70, I grab him and say. These are you're instructions. You will be widest of all the whole race. I don't care if you're in the 20 path and we get beat 40, you WILL be widest. Just stay out there. If anybody is wider than you, i will feed you to the swans in the infield pond. Meanwhile our trainer is horrified. The kid is scared shitless. I tell them both, if you guys could handicap, you'd be betting hosses not riding them or rubbing them. So short story long, the hoss wins. He is almost in the grandstand and wins the outside wire photo. Never seen a jock so happy. we got like 11-1 too.
