Well...I had Frosted in my bet too.
Frosted was within a length of Keen Ice and Tonalist, both -3 horses. Honor Code was just a length to their better....Maybe they all ran their -3's?...Course if you think so Hard Aces had to come up with a -3 also.
Somebody mentioned something about AP having "bottomed that field out"...In "hindsight" he pulled a Commentator on them, but the trainers of the also rans ought to be embarrassed. Not only did they concede a tactical edge to a horse that made no sense, they also didn't even have their horses fit enough for second.
