We didn't get a chance to post anything here before the race went off.
FYI To our handicapping service clients we released 1/2/6/7 as win contenders, recommending an exacta box, which hit. (Race results: 2/1/3/7/8/4/6/10/5)
As far as the contest, we were on the longshot 6, who loomed boldly and then hung. Both 6 & 7 may have been too close to early pace... even though it was extremely dwadling-- it looks like the way to win this year(at this short route distance) is to lay way back, then make a move late. In previous times, early speed has given a good account of itself at this exact distance-- but in all divisions of this Oceanside, winners came from the back of the field & their final quarters ranged in the neighborhood of 22 / 22 & 2....to boot the slowest closing fraction was put up while overcoming traffic issues.
For the record, Victor Espinoza on the winner, gave a heady ride...overcoming tons of traffic trouble(which he may have caused himself by uncharacteristically not taking the overland route, as he's traditionally been wont to do).
