Title: Effinex
Post by: joekay on July 02, 2015, 05:58:11 PM

Anybody have any info on what happened to cause him to bolt like he did? Viewing the head on it looked like the jock was riding lop-sided on the backstretch...lost an iron?

They liked him more than any horse they had in that day including VE Day who was 2nd, and Wicked Strong later who every TV handicapper was picking. I bet out on him and he didn\'t finish the race. I agree on the irons or saddle. Something was amiss. This day was a total disaster....

\"Effinex wears same blinkers but diff bridle, Houghton bit. He\'s gone like a hoop around the barrel in AM so don\'t expect problem.\"

But better than Castellano\'s-- not that his mattered.

Nice job weighting the race.
