Title: GP Race #2 & Youth
Post by: Tavasco on February 13, 2020, 11:08:10 AM
#9 Ridden by Gaddiel Martinez crossed the finish line first in this race by a couple or three lengths. I had just put on the video and only saw the stretch run.

Then I noticed the #9 was 99/1. Wow I thought. Then the replay came up and the #9 clearly cut over shortly after the start and fouled the #1 an even modey favorite that ran an apparent second.

The inquiry/objection signs came on and predictably the #9 was moved to 2nd with a $63 place price.

I couldn\'t help thinking you only get so many of these kinds of opportunities. You gotta know that your horse is live and has some speed. The inexperience of the rider spoiled a big score and it was a shame for some.
