The 56/1 shot winner in leg #1 triggered this...The interesting thing about him was that he was making a trainer change.

If you go back to his Pre-Jesus Chavez form, this horse had standout figures in that race to go along with his perfect rail post position at 8.5f on dirt.

He had the standout 52 figure on dirt in his final start before Jesus took over his training.







Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to say I bet horses like this one, but this horse after its performance today simply looks like a horse that wouldn't run for Jesus Chavez. The new trainer today, simply got him to revert back to the pre-Jesus form.

Jesus is a career 8% trainer. This horse today certainly doesn't make him look like a great trainer.

Jesus should stick to saving instead of training

I be willing to bet they used the ALL button in a few of those races with that 1st leg being a high probability ALL button.

He bought 31,185 different combos with that ticket.

That's not a normal bet. If you're going to play that much money playing it, you have to play the thing irrationally if your goal is to have a shot to take it down.

One thing we can say is that he was 5 deep in the last race

1,2,3,7,11

everything else was 5 of 6

Had a Thoro-Graph sheet that hinted at his potential too. Had races as fast as the favorites and was circling back towards them..

And as Andy Serling says, "Bad horses win bad races."
