IMHO, real kicker re the winner of the last (on top of the nifty TG evidence) was that after a sustained multi-year slumber, trainer had a two-winner day at Mth a coupla weeks back, thus kicking himself out of his proverbial 20-year nap . . . THEN took the trouble to ship the four-month layoff winner up the Northway. Fortune favors the bold.
