Some past memories of horses who stunk, but not really

explain your point better?
Are you saying that HARD SPUN effort last out considers him as "stunk" and a rebound in the Derby?

Could be that way, we will have to see. The point is all the above through in a clunker, and rebounded ok.

If you bet 100 to win, and the horse runs 4th, he sucks that day. No excuses, bias, bad ride, bad training, rain, etc ect, all excuses. Jocks and trainers should know what conditions, and track bias's are before the gate opens. So yes, he thru up a clunker, and didn't hit the board, so he stuck that day. And when a plan falls apart, like a stumbled start, or what ever, the jock has to make split decisons, and that's not easy at all. So we as betters, call them clunkers, bad rides, and trainer excuses.

As I stated above, we need to review the films, like a Coach of a football team, and find out what went wrong, and make adjustments
