Railroad has won(as well as lost) for me since, I've lost site of him since his decline into low claming ranks, but he's 3-3 on this turf, appears to be in top form, and needs just one horse in this race(IMO Vanquisher) to have a sub-par race in order to pull the upset. I'm sure he'll be there trying at the top of the stretch  |
The way I remembered it on drf the guy asked opinions about the horse (I missed the part about the health condition) and in Railroad's 2nd start for the new connections (this guy was part owner) he popped at 11-1,his lifetime high odds when winning. Carava claimed the horse back from Ted West and the poster in question made money on the horse and the wager. (along with many others as you pointed out.)
