I stated in other posts I was passing. It didn't pan out today but High Limit is the marginally better horse. You probably dont know that Jimbo but thats ok.
If you scored on Sun King at the phenomenal price of 5-2 congrats or did you lose big again today Jim? Is that why you're surly? :)
High Limit is not a world beater. He did have trouble with the break and its a quick run to the turn. Maybe he broke poorly because he wasn't ready for his best race. Who got back to form off the layoff was the major issue in the race and Sun King scored on that variable is all. Circumstances shake things up. Personally, I believe if they run the same animals in four weeks you'll still have the top three in the trifecta but in different order. That time was not stellar in my estimation even for the winner. The runner ups ran slow. Those horses are second cut and relatively close in ability, thats why the race opened up to being close to unbettable when Scrappy passed. The two that figured were 1-2 and 5-2. For many catching the 5-2 was simply a matter of taking the better odds, though maybe that price was even fair. It would be very surprising to see any of the Trifecta horses being a factor in the Haskell. But at least Sun King has found his form.
It was a boring race and essentially unbettable, not unlike Jimbo's Turf analysis...lol
