Tactical Advantage SQUANDERED

[the_fat_man]

Didn't play the race, as there was no value there but

couldn't help but notice that the connections of the 1 in the 4th at SAR absolutely blew the race.

They had a pace advantage and Dominguez is choking her down, allowing the cutback 9 to stay with her (just close enough). The idea, obviously, is to run the 9 off her feet early.

Last time out she gets run down by a perfect tripping 'good thing'; today she's not allowed to run to her advantage. Way to go in handling her.

That's due to getting bumped (and laid on for a few strides) at the gate.

Dominguez fucl<ed up a trip??!!! Alert the presses!! This guy is the Don Imus of jockeys.... How the hell he manages get the mounts he does will forever evade my comprehension.

Inside speed horses seem to be at a big disadvantage in the Saratoga turf sprints. I thought I read that the 1 post the past two years is something like 1 for 60 in these races.

That's not relevant here. Dial up MissSmokesAlot over at PA; she's on top of all the 'BABY' STATS.

She gets the money as a maiden in a minor stake at MED, bad step on the turn and all, at 9:1.
