Currently 4/5 of course, but just a heads-up.

    Chronic bridesmaid? Starting to look that way after losing his first three races. Not sure if you saw the race today, but he made a giant middle move approaching the turn and then flattened out noticably. To be honest though, i was paying more attention to Launch the Bull, whom i bet (and gave out) @ 5/1. That one was leading until engaged by Street Hero, battled briefly thereafter and then threw in the towel about midstretch. Word is Launch the Bull will appeciate more ground, but that's hard to believe after backing up twice in a row @ 5.5 furlongs. I'll have to watch the replay to form any further opinion on Street Hero.

    PS - The winner Midshipman appears to be only the second winner from Bob Baffert at the Del Mar meet (from over 30 starters). He stunk it up last year, too. That's one guy who just hasn't adapted to the polytrack. It'll be interesting to see how the Pro-Ride plays once the Oak Tree meet starts.
