Interesting run from Affirmatif

[Indian Charlie]

I guess that's why you don't bet 1/5 shots in their second lifetime start.

Who was that winner, Golden Mexico? I don't have the pps for today there and was wondering if that horse had shown anything before. I would expect Affirmatif to turn the tables on that horse in the near future.

Clement and Garcia on the grass at 12:1 is ALWAYS worth a shot. 1 race 1win going a mile in Italy.

The pps wouldn't have helped you much at all. Both horses raced once and won there maiden races going a mile on the turf. Affirmatif in 1:34 1/5 and Golden Mexico in 1:42 2/5. Golden Mexico did beat a 15 horse field in Italy which more than likely was a better field of grass runners than Affirmatiff faced, but really you would have gotten the important information just from the program which would have told you the owners, trainer, and jockey unless of course you feel these people involved have no idea what they are doing. As you said in your post, " I guess that's why you don't bet 1/5 shots in their second lifetime start" especially when an "unknown" horse with those connections went off at 12-1.

He was obviously the main rival, but there was nothing to say that Affirmatif was weak. Golden Mexico should have been the clear second choice. The only other slightly interesting horse was the larry jones horse, just because you have to respect him as a trainer. Weak shug horse, weak speed horse Kent D was on... the Attfield foreign horse was so cheap...

They were looking to prep this Golden Mexico horse for some stakes

not the first horse irwin got from his Italian connections.

should have been around 9-2 or 5-1 in this field (with Affirmatif at around even money).
