Couple of things here--1) they want to get a win. His first race was Maiden Claiming $15k. He ran ok, so they moved him up and he did just fine. I think the horse is not injured based on his bullet work on June 22nd. Keep in mind the bullet is at the Training Center and not at Churchill. I think they want him to get a win, so he can run in some higher level claiming or allowace races. He is going to be a HUGE fav in this race. The jockey/trainer is winning at 26% at Churchill. He has hooked a very very weak field. Snooz is his only competition. If the 11 runs a 58 beyer then he wins this race easily.
