This is becoming ridiculous. He ran yesterday, four weeks after running in Dubai and nine after Saudi Arabia, in an $82K race at Fonner? Wow

I presume it was "Sleepy Eyes Todd Day" or something at Fonner Park.

Sadly, last year he had over 60 days between races when he won the race, with his previous start in Louisiana. Barely got a 4-week break this go 'round...

I was at Fonner yesterday, and Sleepy Eyes Todd getting beat cost me the pick 5. I was hoping Olesiak would just put him on the lead and not mess around, but I knew when they came by the first time he probably wasn't going to win, and then the fact he couldn't even hold 2nd is a sure sign he needs a break, so hopefully he gets one.
