If you saw something else specific in the flow or trouble, I’d be happy to know.

Look at the GPS chart; the last furlong. Then watch the headon of the stretch run. It should be obvious what they were doing.

I might get some push back from others on this, but Lukas is totally random as far as trying figure when his horses will be at their best. If anyone has a line on him you’re a better man than me lol

You won't get push back from me. I used to think the same thing about Nick Zito in the days he was winning races. IMO, some trainers are more likely to get consistent efforts and slow steady development and others are a little more in and out.

I agree with this

Mystik Dan was part of the All in January future pool, assumed he wasn't. I wheeled Sierra Leone and ALL first and second on all my tickets (played $3 base) with others including my 2nd pick Honor Marie and my 3rd pick Locked (at that time-obviously got hurt after wager). Hit it multiple times. Had a horrible weekend but this lightens the blow

I hit a couple futures that allowed me to almost break even. I had Dan in the fourth pool at 21-1, and an All/Sierra exacta in pool 3 that paid surprisingly well. As usual, my tickets were poorly constructed and I got nuthin' on Saturday.
