Unbelievable Haughton race
I really thought Captain Optimustic was headed to a historic win at the top of the stretch. Insane fractions. Bythemissal out of the clouds. He wasnt even at the gate at the start. Horse did nothing for 15 months and thats why they race. Huge miles by Swingtown and ForOnceinmylife. Ervin when roughed up didnt have it. 1-10 at the Big M and the ffa division looks wide open
Cappy & Erv got their 146 3/5 last week.
last i remember that's a big mile even if wrapped up.
The richest horse in the race one.
No shocker.
Just that we're all getting complacent, not doing our homework.
You can never underestimate Burke to be ready.
State of the art training and technology.
Is a predator to aiming horse correctly up until the race, the driver, the instructions.
That separates him from everyone else, as they all use the same peds.
Remember JoBo and Hellabalou in the Borgata...Burke one twice it twice, 55-1 the first time.
He was ready, 147 is not mind blowing.
The others weren't.
These purses suck ass too
