8/7 (MNR): WV Derby (G2)

[Mike]

On the old DRF forum, an individual who was intimately associated with Railroad(no joke intended) gave info on a health condition Railroad had recently corrected thru surgery. He went on to say that the trainer said Railroad was now much improved. He won at mid odds, maybe 6-1 or 8-1, I may be able to tell by looking back at the pp's. I beleive more than a handful of us took it to the bank
Railroad has won(as well as lost) for me since, I've lost site of him since his decline into low claming ranks, but he's 3-3 on this turf, appears to be in top form, and needs just one horse in this race(IMO Vanquisher) to have a sub-par race in order to pull the upset. I'm sure he'll be there trying at the top of the stretch

The way I remembered it on drf the guy asked opinions about the horse (I missed the part about the health condition) and in Railroad's 2nd start for the new connections (this guy was part owner) he popped at 11-1,his lifetime high odds when winning. Carava claimed the horse back from Ted West and the poster in question made money on the horse and the wager. (along with many others as you pointed out.)

Therefore, to me, Railroad is my ultimate sentimental wager. I know nothing of him now, but I feel he'll be at his best for this age. Perhaps a $5 WPS is in order

I shall join you and do the same.

Come home safe, Railroad.
