Was this a bad favorite Sent? I dont have a drf, did he jump off the page as a horse you wanted to beat because of the crazy low odds or was it something else?

She was either gonna win by ten or be off the board was how I saw her.

I don't think she was a bad favorite and a much more likely winner at 3:5 than Gold Stravinsky who was a mysterious 4:5 in the fourth race.

The only other horse in the race ( seemingly ) did win but she was considerably worse than the favorite on paper.

Who's worse than John Ward?

Both. Looked ok at 2-1, maybe a little less. Ran real good first back in June after 15 months off a great second in a G 2 at Gulf but never went 8F. Distance, layoffs and bounce questions. Also first time rail for a lightly raced 4 yo. I thought she was worth beating. She/Smith blew the break. I blew finding the right one.
