Dismiss the freak number for DOJ, ML had a sprint and a route that were faster with little foundation.
Look at the winner\'s last race, that number is as competitive as any, and having everyone\'s favorite whipping boy on her certainly didn\'t hurt. Sure she could have bounced, but at that price you can make a case for a pair up which put her right in the thick of things. The race shape combined with her running style didn\'t hurt either.
And yes Rich C, I\'m red boarding. Drove up to Reno this am, seems like every 3 minutes a race is going off somewhere, not to mention the lines to make a wager. So, posting on the board wasn\'t easy to do. However, if you were in the Peppermill Race Book, it was pretty obvious who I played. I was a bit loud.
