Who Do you believe?

The trainer said we got a bad ride. The jockey says the horse never picked up the bit. I personally thought the race was just too long. A variety of reasons for why No Lip came up about 15 feet short on Sunday. However, that 15 feet represented the difference between 1st and 5th and a paltry $90 check. At least Blumin Won and Swift Progress picked up more meaningful checks for their second place efforts over the weekend.

Upcoming races: Angel is all set to run Friday night. On the other hand, barring a bunch of rain, we will scratch Ready to Thrill if an easier spot becomes available over the weekend. We have entered him at least a half dozen times over the last week and took this spot mainly out of frustration and the hope that rain could force the race off the turf.
