Yeah...that was the eventual flaw in the "putover" -- as Serling called it on Twitter.
The assumption being that a MSW race on the Kentucky Derby card would come up tough.
The race came up so soft, that Masochistic was just 4/1 on the morning line and had the fastest last out fig on everyones numbers. Even his 69 Beyer was fastest last-out.
Had he caught a tough MSW race on Derby Day -- he wouldn't have won by 14 lengths going six furlongs, but he would have been a much better price.
It is amusing to see a maiden race go 1:08.85 and the Kentucky Derby go 2:03.66 ...on the same card.
