Grrrrr, hoping for a bit better than that by off.

finally! they sure gave him a lot of time which I don't mind unless it was due to a problem. 7/2 isn't what I had in mind though.
have to watch that replay again.

I just took another look at it -- and it's not as bad as it seemed to me the first time I watched it, but he still was looking for a place to rally and tried to go inside and got shut off and had to check pretty good. I'm still impressed by the way he came on to grab fourth after that trouble.

Not sure that I like 7/2, but he's really attractive to me as far as multi-race wagers go, and I'd honestly be shocked if he goes off that short of a price.

I was a bit worried though about how long it took him to work after that race, we didn't see anything for some time, but I'll give them the benefit of the doubt with him, he seemed to be working alright recently and it doesn't look like he's catching any world-beaters in there either on Sunday.

tough luck for Thirsty Giant, he runs second to a monster first time starter who ran a track record for 6F, 1:08.8, they really kept the secret on this one, he wins at first asking at 13:1 and sets a polytrack record.

Shrew Operator, Chris Block trainer, WOW.

Thirsty Giant will be 2/5 next time.

Seriously -- I was totally blown away, every call had insane fractions and the horse kept going. Really something -- watch out for that one in the future.

That's one pretty quick race he lost, and one insanely quick race he lost.

Back again in Arlington's 7th on Saturday.

Not sure what kind of horses he's up against, but at least there's a full field of 12 in there. He'll be stretching out to a mile, which should be a good thing for him, and hopefully he won't run into any real monsters this time.

With the full field, there could be just a hint of a fair price on this guy.

Probably more wishful thinking than anything.
