A big IF. He'll be bet down as quickly as Unbridled Heart yesterday. Coming off that time, against this field, a good bet against here.

I wonder if all those who proclaimed UH a 'fast' horse (Godlike status for the Beyerites) after his 1st race were forced to resign their posts as 'bonafide' handicappers after his brutal performance yesterday.

His 101 beyer first out is questionable IMO. The second and third place finishers were Premium Gold and Amped. They are a combined 5/29... Amped is now a clamier and Premium Gold appears to be a turf horse. There is not 1 notable horse that he defeated that day. Also the day he broke his maiden 5/10/08 there appeared to be a big speed bias early on in the card. Races 1,2,3 and 5 the winner was never more then 2 lenghts off the lead. I will point out that later in the card the track seemed to change....
