5 mtp

how the heck is this 1 horse 3/5?

Potential bounce, not certain he can stretch and Smith could find his way into trouble if he doesn't break well from the inside (first time this horse rail breaks)

Landed on the 2 win and ex 2/34.

Was this a bad favorite Sent? I dont have a drf, did he jump off the page as a horse you wanted to beat because of the crazy low odds or was it something else?

She was either gonna win by ten or be off the board was how I saw her.

I don't think she was a bad favorite and a much more likely winner at 3:5 than Gold Stravinsky who was a mysterious 4:5 in the fourth race.

The only other horse in the race ( seemingly ) did win but she was considerably worse than the favorite on paper.

Who's worse than John Ward?

Both. Looked ok at 2-1, maybe a little less. Ran real good first back in June after 15 months off a great second in a G 2 at Gulf but never went 8F. Distance, layoffs and bounce questions. Also first time rail for a lightly raced 4 yo. I thought she was worth beating. She/Smith blew the break. I blew finding the right one.

Can't argue with that.
