Was Masochistic stiffed in his debut?

You can go many years without ever seeing an effort that poor by a jockey on a first time starter at a major circuit.

He strangled him early. He had every opportunity to tip out in the clear and make a run, but he buried him inside and did nothing through the stretch.

Maybe Chuck is right, and the bad test for Ace was coincidental.

However, you have to feel for the people who had 8/1 odds on Masochistic in his debut against Cal Breds. They got a 69 Beyer performance from the horse, but the effort of the jockey was worthy of a -0 figure
