13th - 4 Kyles Art 3,8,9
What did you think of McNair's effort on Bruno...same trainer and owner why not switch this week and make the 1 sucker money because of that?
I think when Roy sat second, McNair chose to sit and wait & try to blast off his helmet in the lane. If it lined up like last week, Roy going to the front, I’m sure McNair would have rushed to the front past the half. Cullen kept the fractions honest enough to stop that scenario.
McNair had 15 seconds with an open lane to win the race, Roy urged his horse the whole time, McNair did not and just steered and Bruno lost by a head. So all the same connections in the winner circle with a 2-1, and an $8 exacta...that's not kosher. 15 fucking seconds of steering.So on 3/21 race 8 McNair is in front by 5 and gives the horse a few whip taps in the stretch to keep Bruno alert, though on 3/28 behind and tight lined and steering? I'm losing my mother fucking mind...
agree with thisMcNair didn't try at all to winkeep in mind next week is the Finals--so I am assuming they were planning a soft trip.... they didn't want Bruno chopping the mile or going first overBruno will be in front next week early and McNair will try
Both horses are owned by the same person, so it wasn't like it was costing the owner any money if the other horse won.
It happens all the time, the odds on the heavy chalk drift up a little so people jump on it thinking they're getting a good price, and it winds up at either 1-5 or 1-9 and the second-choice drifts up.
