wow this is pretty good ml 8-1

race 5 1mile claiming 10k

this horse is pretty interesting in the context of the race

drops out of 61k allw 1x on the turf
and a 51k allw on the turf

rudy rides both times

back to the dirt a huge drop

now i would just write this off as a goofy trainer and a fire sale..but look at the roi for j/t in o7 and o8...

How does your class drop account for the horse's repeated failures for $6K at Thistledown?

Even those who admit that jockeys don't factor into their decision making have to admit that Cruz Berrios being on ZEN BUDDHA is problematic. This kid has more falls than he does in the money finishes this meet.

This race is an abomination and I can see a horse like GOLDMART GEM getting the job done. That being said, WILD HOLLY and SANDY BAY seem to be the likeliest winners if Cruz Berrios continues his struggles.

Sandy Bay looks like a likely, and short priced, winner to me.

he had his best year in 07... think hes a bit better than it shows..at this level i find it interesting

That Go Michelle race on 5/21 was an absolute tragedy, but this race makes it look like a Grade 3. Sandy Bay did get off horribly and put in a little run late. That is the best recent performance of any in here by a country mile.

I won't have anything to do with Zen Buddha, drastic drop, switch to cruz and six days since last race? i hope people plunge on the class drop.

Sandy Bay looks obvious although i did give a little consideration to Tomorrows Dance and Wild Holly.

She certainly likes the distance. But I think Sandy Bay on a short price is very impressive.
