Samraat what a strange trip

[big18741]

He breaks fast and heads over toward the rail before meeting up with CC to his inside.

Taken back a bit from there where he encounters trouble with WS according to the charts.Couldn\'t find a head on shot to see if or how much he was impeded.

Shuffled/taken all the way back to last a couple lengths behind even Matuszak.

Puts in a run on the turn then out wide.
Goes back inside toward the rail in the stretch.

I had no bet on him(distance limitations/pedigree) but his whole ride/trip looked questionable watching the replay.
Anybody read/hear anything post race from Ortiz/Violette?
Was Samraat okay after the race?

I suppose he might have finished 6th with any kind of trip but that one looked odd.

Thought he kept getting shuffled back with Ortiz too concerned about the distance and prematurely moving....just an opinion.

He had most of money.  I do not know much but with his kind of TG numbers 20-1 must be value.  I am sick everytime I review the race.

\"Low blood count\" in the Bel vet report.  Threw him out.
