KODIAK KOWBOY SLIPS IN THE MUD

Today is Breeder’s Cup day at Monmouth Park. The Breeder’s Cup Juvenile at a mile and a sixteenth sets up the betting pool for the Kentucky Derby in May. The winner of the BC Juvenile is often the pre-race favorite though only one has actually won the first leg of the triple crown, Street Sense, last year.

Here in Kodiak Alaska, some have been following the career of two year old Kodiak Kowboy who had 4 wins, each showing improvement before faltering in his last prep at Belmont Park.

How would he fair against a strong field in a longer race?
The Racing Form showed a lot of talent in this race, including undefeated War Pass, trained by Nicholas Zito, not the State Trooper assigned to Kodiak, Nick Zito.

When it came time to laying down some green, after carefully perusing the Racing Form, the Kodiak Perspective got lucky in this race hitting the 2-7 exacta of War Pass and Pyro paying $25.20 for a $2 bet.

As for Kodiak Kowboy, he didn’t like the sloppy track but managed to show, though well off the pace.
