Because Tour Ireland missed in the Calder Derby by 1.75 lengths. The big gap after a huge win, then two bad outings are more than troubling though.

Then again, any horse that can win with Regina Sealock aboard, should be odds on with Ronnie Allen.

Has tailed off markedly since the Calder derby/ensuing N1X which something clearly happened to him in. Personally, I hope he's even money. Recent form and the gap in training from the last start to the recent works is a red flag and I would think an odds maker would certainly give the nod to a horse that has rounded into form (albeit has a strong tendency to hang here) over one with this many question marks. Thats all. It is Tampa.

Gus, did you just use Willie Martinez and ground saving trip in the same sentence?
