Smokey and Fabulous could probably come in there again next month and the same thing would happen. Now, if Calder was their home, then I think they'd beat Mach Ride. I thought they had the class to overcome the advantage but apparently not. Should have known better. Calder horses are extremely fit horses.

THAT'S THE EXCUSE, THAT IT WAS CALDER. Next race, another track, they have a good chance of getting back to form.
