That was Saratoga almost 9 months ago.... and that horse was yet another in the line of impossible to figure NYB turf racing. Anybody that watches NYRA regularly knows that most of these horses aren't very good, so they beat each other up, sometimes with headscratching results. Honestly I think he was more surprised than anyone, I saw him a couple days before that and he said flat out, the horse had issues and had no shot [and he looked it on recent form, even though he had run a few decent turf races in the past], and when i sent him a congratulatory text he said he was more shocked than the crowd. It was the first race he'd won at Saratoga in like 8 years or something. More than likely it was something on the inner, based on the timing of the penalty handown.
