Typical Rosario Finish

And Kayla Stra runs him down in the 8th.

Way to go, BUTCH, can't hold on, with an open length lead, against a woman.



And she looked good doing it.

A peculiar ride in the 7th, I'm only going to mention it once here but there's a bet back in this one if anyone noticed.

I notice you were silent after EVERYBODY's betback, Ventana, punked out when he was actually asked to run on the outside. Damn, couldn't he get that inside trip again?

You don't think he had a bad, no horrendous trip one race prior to the San Vicente? Maybe that race wasn't much considering Congor bay the winner finished second to last in the Vicente however considering Bejarano had him 5 wide on the backside and was pumping on him about 4 furlongs out, suggests to me he didn't run a yard that day.

It wasn't so much that he was checked but rather than he was also shuffled back that seemed to make his trip so bad. However, and this touches on a point that BTW and I disagree on, when he finally got clear inside late, he didn't do any running. Don't get me wrong, it was tempting to take him back next out, and I, luckily, was able to resist. The fact that he didn't run a lick when he actually had to run on the outside was an indication that he pretty much needs it all his own way.

I think Chantal's secret riding idol might be Norberto Arroyo. That move she made in the stretch of the 6th today(where she pushed that horse half way across the track) is pretty typical of her reckless spoiled-child-like stuff. It's one thing to force yourself out, but she's not exactly professional in the way she acts out there. I have never seen a full episode of that jockey show, but I've seen some bits n' pieces. She says she's gunna usually get her way. Well, that's the way she rides, too (she's selfish n' doesn't seem very interested in others safety at all.) She didn't know if someone was beside Danny. WTF is she doing pushing a horse that far out of the way?

I bet him back but I knew it was a bad price, in retrospect I probably wouldn't have if I didn't recall that race so vividly. I much prefer to play back horses with less obvious trouble, that's when I feel that you can gain an edge on the public, most handicappers I suspect don't bother looking at video being that it may be too time consuming, where I am guilty of that at times too. But if it isn't overly obvious and if legitimate excuses are not mentioned in the charts, then all the better for the person who puts in the work.
