That big Inside-Speed bias wasn't there at all at PID tonight to say the least. Had it been -- it would have carried my pace setters in the 3rd and 4th home.

The horse in the 3rd was completely loose turning for home -- and wasn't running any real strong pace numbers to do it -- and he got absolutely swallowed in the final furlong.

I'm still trying to make a case for the winner in the last. The Beyer par was 58 and two horses that had never run that number in their life finish 1-2

Everyone else in the entire fields last fig was 6 points below par for the class level. So it was a below par type race for the class level on paper.

If you're looking for reasons why those two might have improved -- the winner in the last got a significant jock switch to the best rider here and more importantly -- he's a one dimensional closer and this track today was as friendly to closers as it's been pretty much all season.

The 2nd place finisher simply got a loose lead for the first time all year.

As for making a case for them -- neither one had a case going in. They just ran their best and the others didn't.

Is it something offensive? I am just curious to know what they bet, how they played it and thier reasoning behind it. I havent hit a "big" score but a lot of people here have. No one seems to respond on what they played but merely say " I won a lot of money today." Is it supposed to be secret?

Yes, it's a secret.

They call themselves The Redboarder Club, and contrary to their name, their secret agenda is to expose, villify and then burn alive anyone who discusses a big hit!

They take their positions very seriously. It's like the Knights Templar club, but more zealous.

TFM would have wiped them out.
