he did have back grass numbers from last year and a trainer change and was one of the 4 yr olds in a race full of 3's
I did notice the rest being quite bad. 10/1 seemed like good odds after watching him race at Hollywood in 2/28, and took a guess # 3 was over bet(added: My amateur point of view, almost every horse less than even money are over bet, especially in large fields.) My bet was actually pathetically low, $2 w, $3 show, but I was happy with $54. Now I'll have trouble betting him again because his secret is out now that he can win. If he had some time off, I'd bet on him again if he would lose a few more races first and be forgotten and given up on again.Quote: ontariodealerhe was unlikely in this race but not impossible....I gave four horses a shot, the rest were all horrid...I ranked your horse the 4, 4th behind 6,3,2,4

What about how often he races though? Seems like too much if you really are trying to make the board and win races.
n2I means?Quote: ontariodealerhe will probably sit in the n2l for quite a while.
Ok I understand that, thought it was some teenage text abbreviation you picked up.Quote: ontariodealerhe broke his maiden so he will now race in n2l which means non winners of 2 races lifetime.

Overlooked the exceptions.
The 11 year old last won 8/7/2012, his second win on back to back victories following his maiden win. I bet everyone remembers what they were doing that day-not.
It did, rained all day there. A little googling, found out a stewards scratch means about nothing on equibase stats.Quote: ontariodealerrace probably came off the grass.
I knew the slop was probably the reason he was scratched, just didn't know it for a fact. By dirt, I think you were just misspoken. I'm still "getting it", maybe you did mean dirt, since obviously competition goes up once you break maiden and I keep forgetting that.Quote: ontariodealerthat horse has zero chance on the dirt....they will look grass only for their chance
Yeah I know, race 2, #1. I am a fan of the horse, because he is an underdog, he is cute to see run, and I feel sorry for him. I may or may not bet today, but I'll tape the race if it's on tvg.Quote: ontariodealerso your horse is entered tonight at the mountain in the 2nd on the grass......if the race stays on the grass he looks like a possible outsider but unlikely....its not a very bettable race but if I handicapped it quickly I would give the 4,5,9 (who will be the 3 fav's) as the contenders as well as the 8 who I like a little. The 3 is a bottom filler type and the rest also rans. Your 2 horse I wouldn't use but he would be the danger if he is largely improved with the move to the grass...if the race comes off the grass, there will be lots of scratches and then its a craps shoot.
Side notes
, that grass looked terrible, very yellow and dying.
