Default The Summitt

Did anyone else see the 10th race at Turfway yesterday. This is how you know things just aren't going your way This horse, after dueling on the rail most of the way, finally gets away and draws off by 5 mid stretch... with the race in the bag, jockey Brian Hernandez decides to hit him left handed, which causes The Summitt to bolt left, nearly hitting the rail.. after getting him back under controll, still well in front, he figures he'll hit him left handed again, and quite surprisingly , the horse again bolts left, and now he has to take him up completely, which was great news for the guy behind me who now has the winning $2000 superfecta ticket.
Thank you Brian Hernandez!


By the way, the same thing happened to my cold AGS/Helsinki exacta, when Alan Garcia hit Helsinki left handed, causing him to jump 7 paths to the right, costing him 2nd for certain in that race.
We'll call this reverse red-boarding, telling you about my losing tickets after the fact
