I would like to redboard please

I'm surprised the horse paid $96 to win on debut. The horse had a 4-star gate drill in its final workout just four days ago by one of the workout report services:

Aug 25th, 2012 HP
3f:~ in 36.1s - Very STRONG 3 furlong gate drill being pulled for all of the drill and in full stride. First quarter was in 23.4 then under a hold to finish in 36.1 LOOKS READY.

Probably because Art Sherman was 0 for 44 with FTS and only 12 of 44 ITM in the last 3 yrs

Yeah -- he had been ice cold with them recently.

He did have a debut winner at 16/1 at Del Mar in 2008.

He was 12-for-63 (19% wins) and $2.83 ROI with all first-time starters in the year 2007 when he had a much larger stable to work with.

He's one of those guys who has had a reputation solely as a claiming trainer since moving to So. Cal -- and those type of guys often don't get the stock to win on debut unless they jam them into bottom level MCL's on debut.

Redboard...Had 5 horses to finish off a 4 dollar pick 3...Not Artie's though...Phuck! That horse came from the 29th street lifeguard stand!

A 40-to-1 shot won the last race at Del Mar -- another P6 carryover coming.

The late pick 4 paid over $63,000 for a buck.

Hes had a couple of horses he ran at del mar this meet, both ran very well at long odds coming from his brother Steve's barn from No.Cal.
