Default It's an Understatement to say Todd has 3 in the Stymie

8/5 ML?? More like 2/5, NO?

I am against all three, take my shot with Reflect times and hope for the meltdown.

Oh well.

I'm glad National Pride hung on for a piece of it anyway.

Not sure why the other jocks bothered getting on the backs of their horses if they were just going to let the 1 and 6 get away with that on the front end there, they certainly weren't racing for anything more than a mount fee by allowing that to happen.

Nite Lite has speed, has shown no ability to rate, and I was very surprised to see Seniors Pride try to rate as he has proven he can't win rating, and I certainly thought Atoned would be closer, but letting those two get away with slow fractions determined the finish and left the rest racing for 3rd and 4th. Not sure why they wouldn't ride their horses with the only style they show a chance to win the race.

nite light has shown speed in marathons, same thing with atoned. i dont think its true they have shown no ability to rate. the pps certainly dont show that. seniors pride was allowed to crawl 3 back, but he doesnt really have speed like national pride does. not to mention hill isnt really aggressive ever.
