Not really sure what Junior was doing there. Maybe he came back too early from his spill because he rode scared early and was less than enthusiastic from the 3/8’s to the wire. He made no attempt to find room, nor get out until it was way too late and even then he wasn’t even pumping hard.

I’ve made my opinion known many times that if racing in California ended tomorrow I could care less and this is one of the reasons. Take a look at the 7th today and explain to me how there is a moderate pace in there.

What were the riders of the 2 and 4 doing? How was the 4 dead last early?

How can anyone make a bet with any kind of confidence there?

Close it down and sell the land. Let guys like Mario Gutierrez have to try and make a living somewhere else.

I would be super surprised to see Mario riding for Baltas in the near future. I played a P4 ticket and my first pass I had all the runners in this leg except for the 6. I trimmed my picks to the 3 & 5 and worried about the 1. I culled the 2 and 4 based on Jocks and McAnnally prepping horses off the lay off. Needed a spread in the 8th and went 5 deep to get the long shot. Mario didnt even look like he wanted to get this horse up front leaving the gate......
