The two sprints that day were over basically the same speed track, Beyer got it pretty close to what I did. This one is a head scratcher.
I first heard about this when Contessa was interviewed by Mary Ryan this morning, and he said he scratched out of a spot yesterday where Wishful Tomcat was 8/5 in the morning line to run in the stake because on Ragozin he was faster than Big Truck (on ours he was 6 1/2 points slower). I figured he must have gotten it wrong until I got a call 15 minutes before the race telling me the same thing. On Ragozin BOTH the first two were bet-againsts (they had Spanky off a 5 point top and only a point faster than WT, we had him off a pair of tops 3 points faster than WT)-- using their data there is no telling how much I or ANYONE would have bet on Wishful Tom at that price.
