the reason I ask, is that I think that was the race where the 6yo first time starter won(?).

I also thought the chalk was fastest, but pegged him to react a couple points, leaving him w/i reach of a couple others because of anticipated trips and weight.
I used him w/kessinger's horse, who I thought could move up a couple points + save ground, and the 3 (muy bien chris), who was a big price.

so, this 6 yo first timer is a well deserved 30-1 ml, and he's suddenly 8-1 early.
no particular turf breeding, no flashy works, no supertrainer, no nothing but some owner 'in the know', maybe.
well, 8-1 was horrible on a rat that should've been 60-1, so I bet the horses *I* like, and go get some meatloaf and mashed potatoes.
next thing I know, that little snake drifts back up to 36-1 and torpedoes my tickets!

somebody cashed nice on that race.
