This one was gettable. I did not notice until too late. The huge favorite here (I will add it's running lines in the follow up post) was not worth a bet as it had NOT contended at all in three trips to the post. AH, but put the magic name up in the trainers box NicK Zito and the crowd just gives up all logic and thinks that this fellow can make a silk purse out of a sow's ear.

NONE of these animals can run and in really horrible fields like that you look for those that can run a little to get out front and stay there: LIKE THIS ONE DID.
