Master of Hounds being bet down to 6-1 was probably the most insane thing that happened on Saturday, including the winners of the 9th through 11th races.

Most of the "experts" who were picking him did so in a "shrug-your-shoulders-I-don't-really-know-which-way-to-go-in-here-but-not-Animal-Kingdom-I'm-really-not-sure" kinda way, which is the WORST part about it. It's not like he was fifth clear four lengths of the sixth place horse in the Derby, it was a three-way nosebob. One dive to the rail in the final sixteenth and a few replay watches later... It just made no sense, especially in light of the O'Brien numbers, the constant traveling, all of it. Last edited by PatCummings : 06-13-2011 at 10:50 AM.

I thought MOH, with his incredible dosage numbers, was an immortal lock in the Belmont.
I guess he couldn't overcome his trainer.

you were right all along about this horse, for some reason the people like me who stuck with him thought his was UAE Derby was the stuff of legends..lol boy was I fooled. Plus all the traveling the horse did like you mentioned was pure insanity looking back on it. Ireland to Dubai to make first start, then Ireland to USA for KY Derby, then back to Ireland, then NY to run in Belmont. Poor horse was better off running in Europe

The only smart thing I did all Saturday was dump MOH off all my tickets once the track started getting sloppy. Rail post assured him of taking the worst of it. Never was impressed with his Derby anyway.

The best part on Saturday was seeing Master of Hounds go for a good European-style mile or so warmup before the race. At what point during that little exercise do you think Gomez said to himself "I immediately regret this decision."
