Back in the day Chavez was my favorite jock in the slop,I used to joke that they should put a mud mark next to his name.I briefly thought about using him today,but was in a hurry and forgot about it.Came home to see that he had won and my horses were right underneath him.Hate when that happens.--Jett

Good job piecing that together. Funny thing is, that\'s kind of what I do for \"everyday\" races, but I somehow become mesmerized by the \"sheer number\" horses in stakes races, an obvious mistake.

We use the word \"key\" differently. Price never makes a horse a key for me...just a stronger use if the public is making a mistake, as you perceived with Eldaafer. To me, a key horse is one who I think will *absolutely* be there (no worse than 2nd), and must be on all my tickets -- price is not a factor. That\'s what I was questioning...a semantical difference and NBD. Thanks for explaining.
