Ask the Experts / Belmont curse on Espinoza
June 08, 2002, 01:01:50 AM
It\'s worth noting that Victor Espinoza is a chilly 1 for 35 at Belmont Park, per T-Graph stats.  Looking over his four mounts on Belmont day, I think he\'ll still be looking for win #2 the next trip he makes to Big Sandy.  Note also his turn path average at 2.8 -- the widest of ANY jock getting a leg up on Saturday in ANY race.  Baffert\'s strategy to put Espinoza away and chill out leading up to Saturday is a mistake.  Probably should have let him get a better feel for the place and gain some confidence based in success, not hope or hype.
