One thing to keep in mind.....the track was even on Sunday, and has clearly shown to not be speed biased today, so horses like the Linda Rice in the 7th are mediocre plays. I understand trying to make horses like that if the inner is a true speedway, but contrary to popular belief that is far from regularly the case, and those horses become overbet traps on even racetracks.

To be honest, I liked two horses that were scratched, and specifically He Aint Easy, so I only really played at all for action.

I am off the Aqueduct Speed Bias for sure...

Obsolutely correct and remember that he turned down $2,000,000 for a horse right after the colt broke his maiden last winter.

He said he turned down $2 million. The reports were that it was more like $750K.

Regardless, he wouldn't get claimed now for $75K.

I was just quoting what Mr. Parker said. In a world where a man pays $16,000,000 for a horse such as the Green Monkey, 2 million, or $750k seems like a bargain for Johannesburg Star. His ship came in and he decided to wave goodbye and let it sail out to sea.
