I gave the horse very little chance. He finished where I expected him to finish. I figured he would run somewhere between 15th and 20th. I think he ended up finishing 16th.

He didn't look very good training leading up to the race. He looked a little "rough" in his gallops.

Most of the good handicappers I know thought the horse had very little chance. When Mike Welsch was asked which 5 horses had no chance, he named BBJ.

I don't know what the big surprise is. The horse pretty much ran to his odds(29-1).
