Cougar Bay

[sumitas]

Wasn't Optimistic Steve, an also ran in the Tampa Derby, claimed for about $25 k last year. He's done well in NY since.

Maybe he belongs with 35 claimers. Cougar Bay is 2 for 22 so it's not like he's a win machine. He's been put in races where he had no business running in. At least in this race he's facing a bunch of horses who do not like to win. Couth is also in this race and he usually runs well but rarely wins. I've hit a few triples keying Couth in the 2nd and 3rd slots so I'm glad to see him here.
