The Final Roar was purchased from the same sale and cost a little more money and also had slightly faster works.

If BBBG had any real buzz to him - why wasn't he favored in that horrendous looking MSW race at Bay Meadows - and why wouldn't the stronger part of the entry debut at Hollywood and the weaker part at Bay Meadows?

The Final Roar would have won that very soft BM race by a few lengths - and I think might have been shorter than 8/5 doing it.

Either way - it annoyed me that I lost value on BBBG because I would have bet him debuting against anyone in any kind of spot.
