Considering the trip/ride he got from Jose Carraballo, he should have scratched again Can't imagine getting a worse trip in a 6 horse race. More than happy to bet him back next time providing ANYONE else is riding.

I don't think trip would've made a difference. . . he was headstrong throughout and was never really moving smoothly. He might have a physical problem.

I think physical issues is a good bet, based on the fronts he showed up with today, didn't have them when he broke his maiden.

Hard to say he wouldn't have finished better with a better trip. 4 wide in a 4 horse line-up after a 50 second half is not the best place to be under any circumstances. He certainly set up the 2 horses sitting in the back, they finished 1-2.

I'll give him another shot, especially if the front wraps come off, at what should be a fair price based on this result.

Ya. . . I was sort of surprised he was as big a price today as he was. Would be a huge price next time if he runs back in another allowance.
