I wouldn't exactly call finishing 4th a flop

You all crack me up...the horse was fourth choice and finished fourth (not fourteenth and Zito might say)...

He was a lot further back in that race that he had been in his previous races...he put in a decent enough run before flattening out...

If I had his PPs in front of me my response would be:

"He was beaten X number of lengths with a Y beyer. . ."

X = 15 3/4, Y = 80.
