The horse in the 7th was a tougher pick I thought but the biggest surprise to me in the 9th wasn't that the 6 won but that I had her! I don't pretend to be any expert or anything. But, to be honest and in fairness to pointman, she wasn't any easy pick here. Her best number is competitive with most of the others more mediocre races. Shugs horse's duds on paper were better than her career best. She was going in against all graded stakes placed/winner horses and her biggest claim to fame was her optional claiming score last time out. She isn't a Giant by any means. She was cutting back and had a nice break after her career best last time out and had 5 good and consistent works in her for this one. Plus, as you say, she was the lone speed. Giant? No. But you could see she would move forward from her last. The cards had to fall her way and they did. I thought she was worth a shot.
