Excellent analysis by Thoro-Graph. The only problem with COSMONAUT is that he can't get a 1 1/2 versus this kind of company, nor does he ever beat them.

Too bad I did not pay attention to this obvious piece of information before the race. He likes to middle move, then hang which does not go hand in hand with success at the higher levels of turf racing.

I keyed him with the first two (BOBOMAN-an improving 5 yo out of KINGMOMBO; RUNAWAY DANCER-gives a nice effort every now & then and 1:26H work going 7f and attractive value). Off course I did not box the three; why would I do that???


My point is: NEVER BACK TURF LOSERS, REGARDLESS OF THEIR NUMBERS.


Good Luck,
