White Tie entry...

The quality of the field in his debut did come up strong (though he hung a bit), but I'm not sure what you can make of his second start to explain it away. . . I also highly doubt he'll be a fair price since he has the second highest fig in the race, red-hot connections, and that $1.3 million price tag. He may very well win, as there doesn't look to be anything special running against him (except for maybe the TAP firster), but he'll almost certainly be an underlay and one to play against.

I didn't bet the race but I really can't believe what that horse paid to win. . .

Thanks hooves. . . It's not like I really picked him or actually played him - but I don't understand how a Pletcher by Vindication out of that mare with a VERY nice workout pattern pays $37.40. . . I may have even been scared off of him by the lack of action. . . Kind of like the Asmussen half to Pyro from yesterday - another one that I didn't bet.

When the comment in the chart is simply "bled," I'm going to go ahead and guess it wasn't a great race for White Tie. I hope he comes back ok.
