This is a lightly raced 3YO who hadn\'t gone backwards yet and had paired his top in a SL Pace race. I am just wondering playing Monday morning QB if there is something in the breeding or trainer stats that I missed or if it as you say, a complete abberation. He had won two races since the equip (blinkers) and surface change and was coming off paired tops. I feel better if it is one of those \"that\'s horse racing Susan....you just never know \" results (to borrow from John Sterling).....but am always trying to learn and was trying to see if it was a bettable result since the ROTW nailed the 2 underneath horses in a race with an awful favorite. Similarly, our esteemed host correctly nailed the Winter Memories toss, and I couldn\'t pick the winner there either. I bet the Flay horse that ran out of the money.
