Well, turned out to be Super Robusto favored, Shrewd Operator second choice after all in race 6. No idea what that early Big Looie money was all about: He wound up last. Shrewd Operator also ran quite poorly; he pressed a hot early pace, but the leader, Mighty Rule, stayed on for third. Super Robusto, meanwhile, came from second-last with a nice run between horses, holding clear Arlington-loving King A., who had rallied from last. Super Robusto now 2-2 since moving to Polytrack and Wayne Catalano, and should be bound for a stakes next out.
How bout tote board 10 minutes to race 7? 5-1, 5-1, 6-1, 8-1, 4-1, 9-2, 5-1, 5-1. Betting public thoroughly mystified by 3yo turf race.
