Nice cash on A.p. Warrior.

Not sure I agree with an assessment that Bob and John paired again. You're gonna have to factor the poor break and the wide. Once you do that don't see how you can figure he ran another 5.

My assessment is that he ran well, faster than a five, and was beaten about 2 lengths. He ran faster than a 1.43 but was probably sitting on a regression and regressed. He finally got to Point Determined and then came up short. It looked like a step backwards to me, but if you think he ran a top last, a backward slide was forseeable, especially at Even Money.

Marcus, let me refresh your memory regarding the ROTW and LIKE NOW. He was not called in the overview and this is what was said about him in the rundown:

"Wasn't much of a juvenile, but moved up considerably over the last couple months with the rest of McLaughlin's barn. This one gets about a point in weight from the favorites, has a pedigree thats o.k. on both sides for the distance and has figures that are good enough to make him a BORDERLINE contender." emphasis added.

If you went to the Selection Service this was said:

"2nd Choice Keyed Entry enters off a very fast figure and Big Top. Bounce at a short price very possible. Exacta Box Achilles of Troy and Sweetnorthernsaint and Key Achilles over SNS and Like Now in Exactas and Triples."

I'm not sure how you read that, but I read it tearing up tickets because I came very close to the same bet and had to tear up mine. But if you say I won I won't look a gift horse in the mouth, provided you can tell me where to collect. The problem was Keyed Entry didn't bounce. If he had bounced they still wouldn't have won but you wouldn't have had to direct me to a mutual clerk.
