The horse will never win again, unless by some miracle he catches a field that did not run to their form on a slop track, if thats the case I like him.

Rail bias or not that bunch is going to turn out to be turd-o-riffic to get bent over like that.

I agree with you dahoss, but you are going to hear all week it was the rail, but he was easily the best and the rail only just exacerbated that, i guess cause of the slop more then anything else.
