What did he do wrong? What's a scenario where he doesn't get crushed? Other than the 2 falls down.

You guys that bet Souper Speedy can't be happy with that ride.

I honestly don't know what to do at this point. My frustration has reached a new level while my account goes into the $hitter.

Why do people think Lezcano is a great rider?

I've been wondering the same thing for years. I just don't get it.

Meantime, Boulanger runs out of ground, costing me a $92 exacta. Bad ride, after watching the replay. If he just stays outside, he's easily 2nd.

I am not saying that Royal Delta wins the race if Smith gives the right ride. Rather my point is that Smith did not give Royal Delta the best ride to win considering the pace scenario on paper and the way the track is playing. It is the same point I made on Traver's day about some of his rides that 10 pint whatever jumped down my throat for.

Clearly, Royal Delta's best chance of winning was to go straight to the lead in the rail favoring part of the track, get as big a gap between her and Princess and make Princess come chase her. Instead, he chooses to put the horse in a position that has not worked out very well with how this track is playing. Do you really think Royal Delta could not have outrun the 1 to the lead if Smith wanted? He is vastly overrated.

Having said that, I agree that Princess was probably winning today regardless.
