Best start?

At 7h00, on January 8, 2019 By Christian Gendron

On January 8th at Western Fair in the 9th race

Win Placed: 2

Trifecta: 2 (1st and 2nd) with 4,5,8 with 3,4,5,6,8

No 2 Neon Moon (3/1)

On his last start, Ryan Holliday wanted to perform at the start but the horse was not in the barrier, which means he had some lengths to retreat before the barrier opened and the damage was done because the No 7 had the same intention and he found himself on the line longer than expected and he had to take the fourth hole leaving No 7 to take the third but the 7 broke his pace just ahead, which further complicate all. Despite all these facts, he finished third. Tonight, from the second position, he has the advantage and if he has the same intentions, he should be first or second quarter of a mile, which will be ideal to beat this group.

Jockey: Ryan Holliday .083 – Coach: John Darling .333

Proposed bet: January 8th, Western Fair, race 9

Win and Place: 2

Trifecta: 2 (1st and 2nd) with 4,5,8 with 3,4,5,6,8
