The sad thing is if you had seen the toteboard action on the Assman colt you probably have it given that he went off at 5/2 from a 6/1 ML- generally NYRA does a good job positioning races with firsters outside of blind spots in multi-race wagers, however they really didn't have a choice here with the other races on the card, unlike California which invariably puts a maiden race last every day.

It's funny you say that Phil.. I am not the biggest tote action follower out there, but when Joe Vann opened at 4-1 and more or less remained there, I knew I was a chicken in a pot.
