"He just wasn't handling the track at all," Valenzuela said of Bordonaro, who had won nine of his previous 11 starts. "He was spinning his wheels and never did get comfortable."
Favored Henny Hughes was last in the 14-horse field after stumbling at the start and encountering early traffic problems.
"He never took to the track at any time," jockey John Velazquez said of Henny Hughes. "After the first three jumps, I knew we were in trouble."
Henny Hughes has never done this.Bordonaro has also never looked as uncomfortable.Henny had never been worse than 2nd in 9 starts.O.K.? The horses who "handled" this track were mainly those that could get down to the rail.TM Bling had never been out of the money sprinting.Again,can't handle the track.I am not holding a loss from this day against any of the horses that ran yesterday.PERIOD.
