Channing Hill gave Commentator the patented "Screaming Monkey Ride". Thats where the horse so lays over his competition all the jock has to do is stay in the irons, shout and flail like mad and the horse is a guaranteed winner. In other words I had that race. Even Zito said he was overzealous.
However Channing Hill's numbers have become very marginal. You need more than a 20 dollar mutual to break even on his stats, so if he goes off at 11-1 or more I can understand a flyer on him. I don't use him if other horses have even have a remote chance however. The raw time looked good to me, but it was surrounded by changing track conditions and so much turf racing you have to wonder about the track. Gut feeling is that it wasn't exceptional.
Channing Hill 205 18 29 24 win: 8.78 money: 34.63
I'm sure he's a nice guy, but this game is tough and he'll need to find other work shortly.
Too bad about Eddington. I think they could have brought him back from that injury, but I'm not sure that Pimlico mud romp got him into whats left of the elite.
