Was Masochistic stiffed in his debut?

[Calzone Lord]

The connections of Masochistic really got screwed.

In a typical MSW race on Derby Day for males -- you'd expect seeing plenty of horses, from fancy connections, who've run Beyer's in the high 80's, at least.

A horse with that form is 20/1+ ML if the races comes up as you'd expect it.

They got so brutally unlucky, that they came into it having the top fig, on everyones numbers, off a 5th place finish in an 8 horse field of average Cal Bred maidens.

I honestly didn't know that or never would have brought it up. I just saw he was picked on top by our software so looked a little deeper, seemed odd at the time.

Gotta love the ownership group named Los Pollos Hermanos, by the way.

That is awesome!

Gotta love Avila's quote: "wanted Berrio to preserve him to the stretch then ask him."

This is a horse capable of running :21 flat for the opening quarter. Why would you choke off a horse's early speed unless you don't want to win? Does Avila think everyone is brain dead? It was an out and out stiff job, and he knows it.
