Right you are! Or you could put it another way, when a trainer puts 2 in an uncoupled \"entry\" either use them both or use the longer priced one! I honestly didn\'t think both Baze and Bejarano would grab their horses early and leave Smith all alone in front though. I really figured Tiger would have to be sent hard inside and Ventana would get a better trip, but as it was Bejarano grabbed Ventana into submission, and he was never in the race at any point. I had huge pick 4\'s with all the other bases covered, but you required me to think a little outside the box, and my brain wasn\'t going there today. I do not for the life of me understand why trainers over-race their horses though. I was on the right track with thinking Tiger might be wiped out from his huge previous effort. A guy who knows something always told me to beware of very fast works after huge efforts, they mean just the opposite of what you think they mean, esp. if they are within one week of the big effort. We see this all the time out in California though. I should have looked closer at Euroears though, one guy in this thread mentioned him but I was gone already. Oh well, tomorrow\'s another day. Did P-Val get hurt???
