How can you say that a Dogwood 77K purchase in for 20K first out is a well meant runner? Yeah he ran better than everyone else in the race, but these are total slobs to be in for 20K. That screams firesale, red flags, whatever. One of the strongest plays in racing is to play against horses who are in for significantly less than their purchase price at least that's what I have found out if it is their debut. Once high purchases have proven form it's less of an issue but a horse being offered for 57K less than it was purchased?

Too bad, for you, that the DMR stewards weren't on special call at SAR today. They'd have definitely taken the winner down for bumping your horse late.
