Cozzie Rags - KNLD Race 6 Sunday

[shanahan]

I know what I\'m getting with wes Ward, so no, I\'m not surprised.  

What does surprise me is Brian Michael who seems pretty well regarded in KY circles - his dad was a big insurance guy for the industry - but I\'d never heard of him till yesterday.  

With 7 total published works THIS YEAR ( 3 since Aug 30 - all slow) Cozzie Rags wins at 88:1.  Cozzie Rags cost $15k.  Sire fee is $30k.  In a race that had 4 entered which cost over $100k, he beat them all.  Some top notch trainers and all the good jocks competed.  There was a huge weight advantage which went overlooked by me and apparently the rest of America.  To have this overlooked at Belterra/Fairmount/CA festival racing, OK....Not KNLD.

Congrats Brian, perhaps training isn\'t as hard as I was led to believe.In doing a little research you have a talent for longshots with jocks I\'ve never heard of.  You are on my radar screen now with the new key angle of \"no work pattern, no jock, fair - not great- breeding, lot of prayer\".  Till next time you enter...

That horse keyed a huge pick 5.
