Usually if it's a trainer that is excellent with 1sters and he/she is dead on board then it's a big red flag.If I think I found a sneaky one based on breeding or better than workouts look on paper for a so so or bad trainer then a drift in odds doesn't bother me at all.
Yeah I dunno about the DQ..thought the 9 came in while the 5 was coming out.Chalky day though so far.Pick 5 only paid $398
If the next couple dirt races are merry go rounds I may go with Zee Bros and toss Clearly Now altogether.It also makes Miss Behavior tough in the filly stake.Can just put her on top of 1,3,8.
