2nd at Hollywood
I believe Puype has had 2 first timers win this meet at BHP, which is a lot for him. He had Smith on one a couple of weeks ago that looked like a winner at like 15-1 but hung the last 100 yards. It is interesting that Smith is aboard on the Dehere 20-1 and Gryder is on the ML 3-1. How is Dehere doing this year as a sire and broodmare sire of firsters? He is getting up there in years, and it seems out on the west coast at least that every first time starter he is associated with is 20-1 ML. He had one last Sunday in the Maiden Claimer finale at BHP out of a poor first timer barn that completed the super at like 20-1.
