7th Race Santa Anita I bet #3..ridden by Mike Smith. he is the second or third fave at 5 to 1 which is good money/great odds.
I know he is going to win but he is a kloser.
Smiths breaks well, in the top tier but he takes the horse all way the way back to last in a field of 14 horses. he dwadles in last for half of the race. then he starts his move, like a train he takes off passing horses. then the wall of horse gets too large. he is 6 wide and 2 horses fighting for position pushed the outermost one right into #3 as he is passing by.
horse and rider tumbles down to the ground..my bet in tatters.
absolute nonsenses. if a horse does not have speed to keep up to the leaders and run them to win its best not to bet the race even if one knows the kloser is likely to mow down the speed in the end. it is better to past the freaking race. don't bet because no matter how likely the kloser is to win the race he will likely get into trouble and loose.
running from behind is a recipe for disaster. for sure a rider needs to time his run to the wire just right or he will never catch the front running leader. so if one bets bets kloser it is better to do so only when the kloser is riden by an ace rider who knows how to time his run properly
I hope Smith is not dead or severely injured. but he rode a bad race. he was passing horses and lost focus so he wasnt looking for horse pushing from the inside and ran into one as he flew by looking to get in position to win the race. he tied the race badly anyway. from where he was he would not have caught the leader
I hate klosers. they really muck up the racing. I just lost my blasted bet for no reason save a eff up by the jockey
