Belmont 7th

[NoLuvForPletch]

Since everyone was all over BEL today someone want to tell me what the hell was the deal with Dee Mo in today's 4th? Horse took way more consistant money than she had any right to. Went off at 8-1 and 15-1 in her last two. While her race 2 back was decent enough, she wasn't bet next time out and ran like it. Today bet down to 6-1 and stays there for virtually the entire half hour while the heavy fav continues to get hammered.

So the race is run...how many bad steps can a horse take in a quarter mile? How many times can Luzzi check this horse before swinging out wide where it looks like she is full of run. Then nothing...where did all the money come from? Was the trip as bad as it looked to me (I'm biased since I had some change on her) and should I be looking for her next time?

It was incidental steadying and the bottom line is the horse had no run once clear.

The horse was bet because there were few alternatives.

The important point......not much horse.
