As for the bum who gave the scare at Suffolk -- he got a textbook perfect trip. He was a clear 3rd early off of two breakaway speed duelers in a short field.  A lot of the greatest upsets in history happened with similar scenarios. I did a thread about it a few years ago -- and here are some of the pictures I posted in the old thread: * Jim Dandy won the Travers by 8 lengths at "100/1" in a 4-horse field... one bookmaker who offered 500/1 against him at Saratoga tried to jump a fence and runaway and escape after he won.  * Dare And Go stalks a 3-way pace battle between three wildly superior horses from a clear 4th...he blows Cigar and Siphon away in the stretch.  * This wasn't a famous upset -- but Malibu Moonshine paid $31.60 and won by an easy 5 lengths in a 4-horse field.  390 down, only 610 more to go.

A few others from the thread:
* The impressiveness of this win by El Gato Malo was historically huge. David Flores was the jockey of both El Gato Malo and Zenyatta ...  After this impressive win, Flores took off of undefeated Zenyatta to ride El Gato Malo on the same day in the Santa Anita Derby. El Gato Malo finished 5th as the favorite in the SA Derby -- and Flores never got to ride his mount Zenyatta again.

Yesterday the bums managed to run away with another $30,613 to bring the grand total up to a very healthy $419,711.
I had a rare chance to make it to the local OTB yesterday and I was reading through the form trying to guess potential bums, and I was surprised you didn't use Big Rock Candi in the 10th at Golden Gate, seeing how he had two lifetime starts where he failed to complete the course either time, very slow works, and low percentage connections. He wound up 4th (placed 3rd by DQ) after being described as "tailed off" on the far turn during the race call.

Pretty crazy that the horse started his career off with back-to-back DNF's. Even crazier that it only paid #12.60 to show. Talk about terrible value.

14 of the bums ran today, and they all got thrashed, all finshing 5th or worse, and the two that were 5th were in 6 horse fields. They were responsible for $5,943 in failed win bets, bringing the grand total so far to $430,535.
Today also saw a record for the longest priced bum, as Outfox in the 7th at Laurel went off at 209-1. He led for the first half mile before he gave way readily and finished 13th beaten about 53 lengths.

Most of these horses can win if placed in the right spots -- there are a lot of clueless trainers out there.

I don't think alot of owners understand the huge difference between say a 25nw2 race at Saratoga to that same race at Parx or Laurel. Hell, you can see a huge difference in those exact races between Parx and Penn National.

Jimmy Gulick, who is a great guy and fun to talk to, enters Holy Rosie in an OPEN MSW off her 19 Beyer. On the same card there is an IL bred MSW going 1/2 furlong more, where the top horse ran a 40 Beyer last time. Its probably a mistake, but something like this is fireable and it isn't like he is loaded with horses. (look at the 130k buy from the Mongolians in the 1st, probably one of the biggest gypsy org's out there). F'n amazing

I'm probably going to give Ranger a much needed weekend off. I'm hanging out at the track at PID the next two days with non-betting company and going out afterwards. Will pick up this thread and the win streak one when feeling returns to my body from 30 straight days of this madness, combined with making figures for about 10 tracks a day, betting, doing picks and writing for the newspaper, and still having the time to post about Knickerbocker and maintain a relationship with my girlfriend. I feel like I just went 10 rounds with Mike Tyson.

Today's bum report has an interesting quandry, as Silver Sunrise in the first at Arlington ran coupled with another horse, who was clearly the better half of the entry as they went off at 7-2. Seeing how if the entry had won, anyone betting the bums would have cashed, I'm going to include it in the total. The entrymate finished 2nd and the bum was a well-beaten 6th. So the bums were involved with $9,044 in failed win wagers ($2,710 if you don't include the entry) which brings the grand total to $439,579.
Enjoy your time off, I'm sure this seemed a lot easier when it was just talk as opposed to doing all the actual legwork to make it happen.
