RACE SEVEN TRIP NOTES by The Wizard on Saturday, July 11, 2009

5-1 upset winner REB closed from dead last to nail pacesetter NO INFLATION right on the wire. This is a steadily improving 3 year old No Inflation broke sharp then vied for the front with VAQUERO for the lead, who broke slow and was forced to rush up. The pace was a moderate one with Inflation assuming command into the far turn. Continued to hold the lead into the stretch, then faced intense pressure. Very game to the wire. Odds on favorite GIANT OAK was place fourth on the disqaulification of third place finisher OIL MAN who was closing widest. Inside the 1/16th pole, he came in sharply impeding both GIANT OAK and PROCEED BEE. Oak took the worst of it. He was rallying at that point, and would have been much closer at the wire and may have won, but it is difficult to say.
