It is always nice when a second time starter who had a little trouble from the gate in her first start gets left without a handler in the gate and breaks 10 lengths behind the field. Great thing if you own, train, or bet on the horse. Just another occasion where the racetracks screw everybody and when questioned just say "Cost too much money to hire enough asst starters". So I am sorry if anyone lost money on her today. She may have broke slowly and lost anyway but this is not the first time this has happened to me. She has been to the gate in the morning 10 times since her last race and has been breaking fine from the gate, but of course there was a handler in there with her everytime.
