After Further Review...

We simply got beat. I've watched the replay of the Native Diver Handicap a half dozen times, thinking I'd catch something that would explain Heatseeker's 30/1 upset, and I still haven't found it.

He got a great ride from Michael Baze, saving ground early then circling 4-wide and hammering down the middle of the track for a handy 1 1/4 length win.

Ravel never appeared comfortable, tugging Garrett Gomez early, then getting stuck behind a wall of horses at the top of the stretch. By the time Go Go wheeled him into the 4-path, Ravel was spent and passed only the tiring early pacesetters. Had Gomez let him run up front early, it could be argued that he is classy enough to put away the early speed and hold off the late runners. While I would make that argument, that a better ride would have landed him no worse than 2nd, it wouldn't have done us any good at the teller's window.

We got beat by a 30/1 bomb, who we dismissed simply as "a little short to get this 9 furlong trip". It happens, it's racing.
