I was wrong for knocking the morning line maker.

Swift Temper seemed like a total no-brainer post time favorite - and went off 7/2 from her 4/1 morning line.

Santa T seemed laughably short at 7/5 on the ML .. and she went off at 4/5.

No, you were right. How does it go, that thing about a broken clock?

Jim's a really good guy, but his MLs are TERRIBLE.

Your knocking came two days after he made this horse 12-1.

::: 0-for-8 in $10K Mcl races
::: Never gone off at less than 48-1
::: Only went off at 48-1 thanks to a five horse field, and proceeded to finish last, beaten 33 lengths
::: Average off odds are 90-1
::: Finished last in half of her races, while beating an average of exactly one horse in each of her eight races
::: Never once finished withn 15 lengths of a winner
::: Career high Beyer figure of 1. Yes, I didn't forget to type another number....1.

Of course, she went off at 78-1 and finished last, beaten 33 lengths.

I won't even get started on Mister Exetera earlier this meet, who can't even win a $10K Mcl, but was 12-1 on the ML in a state-bred stakes event against multiple stakes winners.

It's a joke. You just happened to make a crack about the wrong race.
