Title: Woodbine pocket not the place to be,,,,
Post by: towtruck on September 24, 2022, 09:33:22 AM

I've been watching for weeks now and no matter who you are, if your sitting in the pocket down the stretch at Woodbine, and pull a right line, you DO NOT go forward,,? how come?

And no one replied to this topic? EVERY RACE, if your in the pocket, you DO NOT go by! Why all of a sudden ? Doesn't even make sense

The horse that sat the pocket won the 1st race last night.

Two winners Saturday had that trip

None won on the front end Saturday.  5 did last night.

Track work? Weather?

Just one of those small sample size things, IMVHMFO

Ive driven rats that sit the pocket and I'm sawing on them the whole time to keep them off the bike of the guy in front of me and as soon as I tip them in the stretch they spit the bit and go backwards. And if you  11.wp them they'll  go backwards even faster. Some horses are just that way.
