Cub,
Not with young horses that have had only one or a couple of starts, it\'s not that uncommon to see that type improve with racing esp off a drop in class, even with a trail line.If those Kimmel horses were drugged, it didn\'t work, they ran too slow,both pathetic default winners.
Both Kimmel horses raced in HORRIFIC fields and the MSW FL dropper with one start was selected by Andy Serling/Maggie on looks (default type selection)
Two slow garbage cans winning is frustrating but buckle up if you\'re going to gamble the Aqueduct winter meet,gonna happen often.
Cub, it\'s not all cheating, sometimes bad races, esp NY Bred slow rats, will produce aberrational results.
