yeah, thought he may have even touched a knee down, reminded me of Afleet Alex in the '05 Preakness ... 23/46 splits were cookin' ... but Max had the lead the whole way - KFAD just made him workworkwork too hard ... short horse today after 6 weeks off - Saez prolly wasn't expecting that kinda heat that rarly, making up for the hiccup start, i s'pose - he did dive back in, he had inside position in the stretch, but Kingy really ground him down.I need to watch a replay but seeing it live I got the impression that Saez cost Maximum Security that race. Yes Max stumbled out of the gate but he recovered and was on the lead going into the first turn. Saez had full control of the pace but went thru the 1/2 in 46.3 I believe, too fast in my opinion plus he was like 5 wide the last 1/2 mile
nice ... beautiful country down there ... i have buddies in Brick, Hazlet, Middletown, Little Silver, and Toms River.Central Jersey right on the Ocean. I'm about 10 minutes from Monmouth. Actually grew up in Oceanport.
Monmouth has always been so chalky. I decided to just bet $20 exacta boxes with 2 horses or $10 Tri boxes with just 3 horses. Skipped race 1
Ended up hitting the exacta in the 2nd, 4th, 6th, 9th & 10th and Tri's in the 3rd, 7th, 12th & 13th. One of my Tri's hit and lost $17 lol
the smart money was in the place pool if one was gonna plunk on Max.The money on Maximum Security was crazy, not sure what the pools closed at but with a few minutes to post he had like 78% of the win pool and over 90% of the show pool.
I remember looking at the show pool and seeing $173k with $150k+ on Max
