Title: 1st Saratoga
Post by: horsegoer on August 10, 2008, 08:00:07 AM
At first glance I thought A Zero Trap was a good play. But the more I look the more I think this horse might have some soundness issues. He gave him SIX weeks after the 8. That is suspect in my opinion. Then he ran ok followed by a bad one on the turf. Ok he is not breed for the turf so I guess I can excuse that race even though it was really not close to being in line but I  guess it should not have been if he did not like the surface. Now he comes in off almost a 2 MONTH break. This seems to be a horse that is fragile. But if he runs a new top he might be right there. Tough call. If it were not for those questions about the gaps/rest I would jump all over this horse especially at 10-1.
