There is no handicapping angle where I can see that you could put any money on this horse. Congrats to Gary, but that is honestly a head scratcher. I do know that I don't ever want to put a dollar on a horse coming out that race.

The horse did have two angles that could have tipped off possible improvment.

The dam was a marathoner sired by Kissin Kris. All of her wins came routing. The sire, Prime Timber, was a closing 4th beaten like 2 lengths in the Kentucky Derby. Today was the first time this horse ever attempted a route.

You also have Sciacca's trainer stats on the bottom -- where the only recent area of strength has been with stretch-outs.

Still...even with projected improvment...that horse was way too slow to bet. Never ran a fig above 49 in those dirt sprints...and five others in the field had run figs in the 60's this year.

The horse ran a 70 today to narrowly hold on. Not a bad type of horse to use for 3rd and 4th...but if you're banking on 20 point move-ups based on pedigree to narrowly win, you're going to see some giant losing streaks.

I believe you are forgetting the pivitol handicapping angle developed by the notable Exacta Bob, "The horse looked so bad, I had to use him!"

However Congrats to Mr Sciacca.

He just ran 2nd with the bomb he put over last week at 29/1. Is he using or is the competition at the Big A that weak right now?

Yes. Utterly shocking that La Festa E Domani as well as winner Toccet's Image both paired up mid-40's Beyers in back to back races. Gary and Linda Rice clearly 'using'. Good grief.
