Dear Dr. Moore, It was the
Dear Dr. Moore, It was the horses 2nd start of the year. He was racing for a paultry $25,000 purse ($280,000 next week). He had the outside on a bad first turn 1/2 mile track and only had to beat 1 horse , in a 5 horse field to get in the final. Racing from behind with his lightning quick speed, and beating only 1 horse, gets him to the final and a chance to draw better, with another start under his belt. Please consider scoping the drivers head in the future, and not the horse! yours truly,Al Casselman. P.S. This comment is backed by 55 years of Standardbred Racing experience (good and bad).
