They, of course, had Ben Huffman, Racing Secretary involved so that he would card this as Race 8, the 2nd leg of the Pick 4, leaving the poor, mis-guided public to assume the 12-1 morning line meant Connie and Michael was a goat. It was a disgrace and scourge against Keeneland and the entire sport.

The only, ONLY
reason they got 5/2 on the horse was because of the 12-1 morning line. If she had been 5-1/11-2 like Steve suggested she would of went off 3/5. Money went elsewhere late because of info provided in the program(odds and works). 5/2 was HUGE for this horse.
