gotta tip your hats to the connections, this horse was hidden very well and picking the right race to do it in probably took some time and was very well thought out


hats off to the guys who made a score

Is it possible they didn't realize what they had? I remember being at the track and a trainer comes up to me and a friend and tell us his First time starter didnt fit in the race needed dirt but all they had in the book was turf.. Paid 80 bucks and the trainer didn't have a friggin dollar on the horse!!!

Call me crazy, but how is this a put-over? Wouldn't some people have to know about it, inducing odds a bit lower than expected for a horse with such works?

The breeding, while not well known, isn't atrocious. The sire was a multiple graded stakes winner, set a new track record in a G3 (Longacres Mile at EMD in 1998), and hits with about 9% of first time starters. He is a half to three winners and the dam herself won in her first season.

The connections aren't known - but would you expect an owner/trainer/breeder to be regularly stabled at CD? Certainly not.

Surprising? Yes. A put-over? I don't think it qualifies as such. Didn't bet it and wasn't going to - but I just don't think anything crazy was going on here.

They looked as shocked as anyone after the race. There was around $1100 bet t win on the horse out of a win pool of around $130000.

No one takes any real action on a horse like that.

Connections can get surprised (in a good way). It happens.
