In Aqueduct's second race, today, back on the main track Renard's Lapin was listed at 1/5. The horse's Beyer was obviously a stand out. Coming from Gulfstream, It appeared to be the only speed. Furthermore, the filly was trained by formidable Todd Pletcher. A cinch, right? Not for me.
Trainer, Bruce Levine, was sending out Long Blooming Rose, jockey Meijas up. From experience, I knew the unpopular jock can hold his own. Long first raced at Parx at odds of 3-1 with an almost 'move' running line. The nondescript second race was on the dismal IDT at the Big A. Importantly, the first and third finishers in race two had wins next out. For me, this information and a 15-1 price was enough. Long won, outlasting a late rally by the second favorite.
Ya gotta at least look!
