Just watched the replay. It was an eye catching run for sure, but I don't think the tardy start actually cost him much, as he caught up to the back of the pack quite quickly. If anything, it may have helped as the horse saved some ground on the 1st turn, and may have been caught wide if he had gotten out cleanly. He had a pretty clean run after that, surprisingly, save for the minor checking a couple of times, as he either drifted in or others drifted out in front of him. Seemed to me a battle of attrition at the wire.

Thank you for injecting a dose of reason.

the 12 was usable in the multis just on the breeding and connections.i used it but didnt catch the pick 5 as the walder horse walked his way a mile and 1/2 on the lead..it was a nice run by the 12 who was better than the rest of the slow field of nags..

My head just exploded. 15 lengths was not the point. I had him with two horses and lost the exacta. I'm not asking for anything. My head just exploded.
