AS I said earlier I actually tried to bet this race but saw it too late and was shut out. I would have posted my bets and didn't have time to comment. My two horses were the 4 & 10 and I liked the 4 best. What I liked about the 4 was that every time it ran in a sprint it ran a big race. It obviously is a better sprinter than a router. Look at its POH Tot Energy. Why they keep entering it in routes is a mystery.

Additionally if you exam the # 10 Tot Enery POH you get a different picture of this horse than the man made class designations.
It would serve ( I believe) handicappers well to get away from these man made class designations as their fraught with many unknowns. Particularity with restricted races and where there is big casino purses. Sartin used Tot Energy, also there are better things such as CR or CR+.
My two horse bet would have compensated if the 10 didn't run well. I also thought the 10 would be on the lead so was surprised how he won. Either way its just another race and all this is only important if one has to play the race such as a contest etc. But based on everything and the odds for me it was a bet. Actually was surprised it went off at 7-2 and not the favorite.
