Title: Hart Hills Road AP 7 yesterday
Post by: billk5300s on August 03, 2018, 09:09:28 AM
I had been waiting for this horse because of road trouble on the turf in his previous start.  To make a long story short a lost out on my saver play because the horse was dq’d from 3rd.  The DQ was legit.  ET Baird moved the horse very wide and early because of pathetically slow fractions.  He took command in the stretch by 3 lengths but was fighting the horse to run straight, the horses head was cocked sideways.  I don’t recall ever seeing a horse with that much momentum being that difficult to handle.  My question is would the be a reaction to the turf course or a physical problem???
