You can get him again tomorrow. Looks like a winner in the 3rd at Monmouth.

I missed his last race at Monmouth, did you happen to catch it? I know he finished mid-pack.

Margolis ran him on the turf for some strange reason. Didn't like it at all. 6f on the dirt is going to be his best distance. Not a gimme tomorrow, but atleast he should pay 5-2 or around there.

I agree. His sprint efforts at Gulfstream were eye-catching. His route efforts at CD, including his maiden breaker, were visually less impressive.
I'm in tomorrow!

First off, I CERTAINLY couldn't play him at the absurd price of 3-5! That said, the ride by Bridgemohan was less than stellar, initially joining the speed duel while 3 wide, then backing off, and then letting Bravo get the jump on him, only to lose by a nose. Ariel Smith revisited

I didn't bet him either. 2-1 or better of nothing for me. He probably is a bit overrated. The horse in the Margolis barn that is on a tear is Marina Ballerina. She is putting up some incredible times on dirt and turf.
