I liked him.I told Scav to use him.This is not the kind of horse you feel confident in telling people to put their money on.This rider just got him into trouble last time(waiting for room on the turn ...dum de dum dum,)and the trainer is so-so(but not reliable.)YOU EITHER WIN WITH THESE,OR YOU FEEL LIKE A SUCKER(FOR PLAYING THE CONNECTIONS.)One,or the other.

I had a strong feeling about him, thats why I put up the post which is something I seldom do. He looked like a great value to me because he had the best current form and speed. I kept debating whether to make him a single or not on the PK6 ticket and ended up going two deep in that race. My only reservation was that the rider would not find a way to get a good trip from so wide. But he actually did exactly what he needed to do which was not to try to be cute and hang back, he just rode him fairly aggressively towards the front end as if he had the best horse in the race which he did.

I don't think Doug was refering to the late runner of the same name... Despite his recent tragic breakdown, it will still be an old horseplayer exclamation...

Strangely enough, I first heard it used recently by the wacky bald guy on the short-lived show, Man vs Vegas (can't remember which cable channel it was on).
