Edited.

I can't fault Ortiz for this one. I don't think there's any jock that's been able to get Precious Too to run straight or relaxed for an entire race (maybe Kent, her 2nd time out, I believe, on the turf at SAR). She's always tempting but always finds a way to screw it up.

You're not wrong about Precious Too, but considering his very long record of incompetence I can't hold him blameless either.

As for Santa Anita.....first of all, those stupid Jumbotrons make it impossible to watch races. They are an absolute nightmare. No wonder I don't bother with those races ( aside from the indecipherable surface ). Secondly, the head on jumped from late on the backstretch to the stretch. What's up with that?

The trouble was Baze's fault but frankly a little too obvious for me. He finished where he figured to. The trouble might have been mitigated by a semi-suck up trip.
