I honestly don't understand the confusion. This horse cleared his statebred N1X condition (in his 60th race) last time out by a neck with a 59 Beyer, yet an open $14,000 claimer is beneath him?

I'm guessing Doc didn't look at the Form before making his brilliant "he has to be hurt" declaration, because Commissioner Chris will be sixth or seventh choice in this race at best. It's not as if he towers over the field. He'll be a bomb in this race. If anything, Persaud is being too ambitious with this spot.
