Look for LEO late at SAR

Even if he gets room, PERFECT TRIP and all, it's doubtful that LEO beats the winner. And, when a BONAFIDE BEST horse that was blocked actually gets up to win a race convincingly, like FANTASTIC SHIRL, the other day, it's kind of hard to take these quasi/pseudo trouble trips seriously.

For a more subtle 'trip' that will probably produce a winner next out, especially at BELMONT, try Manitowish Waters.

P.S. I particulary enjoyed how Kent D, on the 6, after getting blocked as well, and bouncing outside while conceding the race, he effectively stopped riding, gets his horse in gear again when LEO comes out and beats the plug to the wire BY A NOSE.

I've attached the chart for the race.

You love the suck up angle (See Mohegan Sky). Seems like you prefer to be six wide on the grass, doing all the running as they say? You are right, LEO is a dog. DO NOT bet this horse.
