Looked like he was gonna fire a big shot inside the 1/8th pole and then he flattened out. Physical issues? Perhaps another drop?? He tumbled down the ladder pretty steep. I'm at a loss.

I wish I had played your horse instead of the 1 horse(I would rather lose your way than lose late like that.) Had both 1,and 10 on the pick 4,but of course I singled the damn Mitchell(cuz he was so ready to lead him over to run-..... that was ugly.) Acorn was really the horse he has saying was doing sooooo well? Amazing...Maybe he was doing so well that he tried running him without enhancement.

That sucks mon. And I agree, losing late is the worst. Happened to me today also. I thought Mama Lula was homeward bound in the 1st and then she got freight trained by the 2 and the 7.

But he's an expert at claiming horses and getting them to do things they never have before. At least that's what the party line boys on HRTV keep telling me. LOL!!

Both he and Mullins turn 50k claimers into monsters.Both have multiple suspensions for cheating, too.For all we know,he acted like a scumbag poker player in this situation,and took an alternate angle here.Sold him awfully hard this week.That's why he was so low......Always somebody trying to set a trap.

I've never trusted Mitchell or Mullins. Never will. I was on to Mitchell back in the mid 90's. His bottom level claimers were winning with legs held together by band aids. They were breaking down all over the place too. Now this alone is not enough to convict the man, but as you so correctly point out, he has had numerous suspensions over the years, and the media people do a good job of ignoring those facts. Many today do not even realize how many times he has been popped.
