Will get a solid fig for that win. Compares very well on time to By My Standards\' race that had some other decent older horses in it.
A bit disappointing that the efficacy of the LA Derby experiment will have to wait a year for confirmation.
The pace was very slow in the race for older horses. I\'m guessing Beyer broke it out as they gave By My Standards a 98 and Wells Bayou only a 91.
Ny Traffic should get a slightly better TG fig than Wells Bayou (as result of being wider on both turns), maybe getting close to his big sprint top at Parx way back.
Suspect top two will both earn a ThoroGraph 3 with Wells pairing up last. NY Traffic the play of the day on his recovery pattern crying out for a forward forge. Why he opened up at 38-1 a magical mystery.
About yesterday\'s FairGrounds results: In the movie ROUNDERS, poker shark Matt Damon describes his winning methods by saying he plays the man more than the specific cards on the table. In horse racing, it\'s become the same: You play the trainer more than the speed figures. Specifically, trainer Brad Cox. He just wins... and wins... and wins. By now, everybody and his grandmother knows this. Yet Cox still gets away at terrific prices! Again and again and again.
