I would call this my value play of the night (Monday November 27), except that the morning line will never hold. In fact I expect #4 Big Top Clown to be chalk in tonight's 7th. Maybe, if we are extremely lucky, second chalk to the rail horse, if enough Northfield bettors are as sleepy as the morning line handicapper.
Since we last saw the Clown here last month (where he was the morning line favorite
in the about to be finished late closer series) he has changed hands. Look at the new owners. Scott Cox, Darby's Edge, and Jason Ash know their horse flesh. The trio purchased the three year old a couple weeks ago at Delaware for $8500. I'm guessing the return on their investment will start tonight.
By the way, this is a horse that was competitive against the likes of Tre Bien and Rocket Laag (both racing at M1 right now) on the fair circuit this summer. He also finished third to Lite Me Up at Raceway in August in 1:55.3
15-1 ya gotta be kiddin'

I could not believe that he was listed as 15-1 M/L. He will certainly be the betting favorite in the race. I hope I get 3-1 on the rail horse!
