Horse in the 10th race at Del Mar finished a distant 11th.

As for the bum who gave the scare at Suffolk -- he got a textbook perfect trip. He was a clear 3rd early off of two breakaway speed duelers in a short field.




A lot of the greatest upsets in history happened with similar scenarios.

I did a thread about it a few years ago -- and here are some of the pictures I posted in the old thread:

* Jim Dandy won the Travers by 8 lengths at "100/1" in a 4-horse field... one bookmaker who offered 500/1 against him at Saratoga tried to jump a fence and runaway and escape after he won.




* Dare And Go stalks a 3-way pace battle between three wildly superior horses from a clear 4th...he blows Cigar and Siphon away in the stretch.



* This wasn't a famous upset -- but Malibu Moonshine paid $31.60 and won by an easy 5 lengths in a 4-horse field.




390 down, only 610 more to go.
