Miscalculation

In order to save a few bucks on the shipping cost, I had to make the call yesterday whether or not to put No Lip on a van to Louisiana before entering him in the race for next Wednesday. Given the quality I have seen show up in this condition at this track (Evangeline), I thought he would fit well. Unfortunately, a quick look at the competitors would suggest he is once again in a little over his head. At this point, it's too late to turn around so we'll have to make the best of it and hope he can at least hit the board and pay for his jock fee and shipping costs. Who knows, maybe the change of scenery will do him some good and he will pleasantly surprise us - I have seen longer shots come in.
