MOH,The rule is play a horse back after a dead rail trip. This guy will go the distance.
I am disppointed that Aidan didn\'t bring him over sooner to adjust to the sandy Belmont track. Distance definitely not a problem, as was passing horses nicely in Kentucky and will do so again, but he won\'t pass Shack. Using for place and show.
Just want to point out that MOH did not exactly get a rail trip in the Derby.
He was on the rail for a sixteenth of a mile at the most.
Is he really a bias bet-back?
I like him to hit the board here, but I am not giving him much extra credit for his Derby path.
MOH,out of the gate from post 11,was 2 off the rail into the first turn. He then moved closer to the rail even getting a call,racing on the inside. I believe he was in the dead portion of the track most of the back stretch. On the turn,he started to pickup horses on the outside. Moving wide,maybe 6 wide,he got a hold of the track and really flew in the lane,only to have Gomez drop to the rail a couple hundred yards from the wire. He was still running hard............
Here is the overhead:

Thanks for the optic ....Moh\'s race was more impressive than I thought.He hit the spot on the far turn that blew-up Comma and DM,but kept coming. Thanks again.
