RACE TEN OBSERVATIONS by The Wizard on Saturday, March 14, 2009

3-1 winner SOK SOK sat a perfect trip in mid pack racing wide. Had a clear run through the stretch to take lead at the 1/16th pole and held off KODIAK COWBOY who was tons the best. Forced in a bit leaving the gate and bumped slightly into the rail. Dropped back to mid pack racing between horses. Lacked room top of the stretch until bulling his way between horses inside the 1/16th pole. Found his best stride too late. IKIGAI was off a step slow. Moved up to stalk the pace down on the fence. Forced to steady on the turn when in tight. Had no punch in the stretch then faded.
