A true stiffing

[pick4]

Le Cirque won his maiden and has gone on to lose 14 straight races.
Was the first race pure luck? He's bred well but he consistantly falls short. Fast paces, slow paces, too short of gound, not enough of ground.

The horse was 5 wide into the stretch and looked like he had momentum. The rail was OUT 30 feet, Talemo was whipping the horse between the 1/16 pole and the finish line and gave him an agrreesive hand ride for the last few jumps.

I think the 5 wide trip was the difference in this race. Plus you have to remember that these are pack animals and there are some who do not like to pass another when in the heat of battle.
