Songandaprayer should have the lead early.

i agree, and if the track plays like it has, 5-1 will be a good risk on this horse.

He supposedly had a 500k offer on the horse, if it is real money, and actually a real offer, he needs to sell that horse to help set him up for his future.

Unless the guy is a multi millionaire, which I doubt since he didn't have the full $5k to pay for the horse, this is a no brainer now.

I completely understand why he didn't do it before, but they are like tomatos, they eventually go bad

I found these two paragraphs from the NY Times article amusing:

Hunt agreed and Snyder’s one-horse stable was back in business. But his filly still needed a name. He came up with Lisa’s Booby Trap, named in part after his wife and in part after a strip club in Florida he admits he likes to frequent.

Working with Lisa’s Booby Trap, Snyder figured out that the reason she was having so many problems was because of her feet. Not only was one a clubfoot, but another was inordinately flat, which caused her every movement to be awkward. Snyder experimented with different shoes and found a combination that solved the problem.

I wonder if the bleeding heart club will still find it a heartwarming story now and not one coming from a complete whackjob.

So now we have a reincarnated wife that's a horse with a name partly due to a strip club. If I didn't know any better I'd wager that he's in the Tea Party.
