Default Transparent, Aqu 3rd

Why is this horse 1-4? I need the 1,4 to cash stuff, start stuff and just crush this card. Hopefully I'm right.

I don't get it either, but now that we've said so, he'll win by a pole.

Or the other 3 jockeys will engage in a ridiculous duel to set up the overbet horse. If I were a more cynical guy, I'd say that was a fishy race.

What was Lezcano thinking? I'm so lost right now.

Why was Transparent overbet? He's an improving 3YO, that had significant trouble in each of his last two starts, running against relative mediocrities ( and I say that having thought Wharton had a shot to beat him....I was WAY wrong ).

It is great to have a rider back that is at least interested in being aggressive.

Overbet is subjective, but there's no way to me he was 1-2 on paper. That doesn't diminish from his performance by the way.

I agree with your second point, but I found it funny how the race was ridden.

On paper stretch out or not the 1 did not figure to be anywhere near the lead. Especially gunned into the pace the way he was. I'm not sure how this is even debatable? For what its worth, I love Lezcano.
