He finished 2nd in his previous two races, so the lemmings emerged.

I'd like to know what happened in his 'no factor' race. maybe the chartcaller missed something?

Apparently, he didn't dwell or hesitate, BUT he still broke last in that race.

How about one of those gate blankets with a buzzer sewn into it?

Started far outside post - broke with the field then veered out - raced wide most of the way and made up ground in the stretch missed photo for show ...


... is a little more like it. How he could have been considered "no factor" is pretty dubious. He wasn't getting to the first two but ran down the rest of them in the stretch...

Still to date the funniest thing Ive ever saw at the start of a race is when Ma's Meatballs broke from the #1 post; He walked out of the gate and right around to the back of the gate.
Worth watching if anyone has a race replays acct. Search Ma's Meatballs. Im pretty sure it was his last race at TWP.
