Aargh! One that got away–and why


In it's last race Christiesborntorun showed, probably, the cleanest monster move I have seen in weeks–albeit at a track other than Aqueduct. Trainer Jason Servis is one of my favorites and was dropping Christie into  a claimer for the first time.  But the horse was being ridden by  jockey M. Franco who boasted a dismal record of one for forever.  No wins. No seconds. No thirds. He  (she?) broke his own maiden with this $88 winner. I didn't have one dime on it.

I can forgive myself  for not trusting the jock.  Truthfully, if  I wasn't currently  in 'slump-mode,' I would have bet $2 or $3  to win. No suicide plans.
