I boxed Flower Alley, Texcess, and Mr. Sword. I actually briefly considered betting all 3 to win. Then I considered Texcess and Flower Alley to win. That's how much I disliked Spanish Chestnut and Andromeda's Hero at those prices.
I also haven't been especially high on the CA 3YOs (until Consolidator's recent race), but these weren't anywhere near the top horses. So I gave Texcess a huge shot. I thought he was better than Spanish Chestnut in the San Rafael and thought his other races were also better than they looked. There was plenty of speed to keep SC honest (and hirt themselves) and I thought Tex could get a good trip just off the pace. He was so horrible though, I don't think the result proved anything other than I am on a bad run. :-)
I don't know why anyone liked the Zito horse in there. I thought he was the worst horse in the race.
