Monday morning quarterbacking. Look at the charts for Keenland that day. The only route race on the dirt was Verves race. It took over 2:00 to run 1 3/16 miles against maidens. I would question the bris rating. This was the suck-up of suck-ups. Anyway, if Bris rated him so well, I would have bet the 60-1 exacta.

I honestly hope you are right, Tom, as I will be there in three weeks. Having said that, my money will be against it.
