Glad you looked into it. Mind you in a bunch of these races he had horses running against each other. Should he dead heat in those races to improve his %?

Yes, you are correct about that. You can't expect him to win at his usual clip with so many horses running against each other. I certainly did not expect him to win 4 races today. I think he would have needed to win at least one race though to go home feeling pretty good. If he would have won two, I think he would have felt really good.

It's not only that he didn't win it was that outside of CQ, the 2 yo fillies and Fr Island so many of his marquee horses ran below par.
