Disappointing day at Laurel Park Sunday.
Pietrelcina did what he does best, lagging way back, making a bit of a run, picking up a small check and making us wonder why. The Maryland-bred is now 0-for-18. Time for another job.
Four races later, Jhirsch looked poised in the 1 1/2-mile allowance, turning for home with one horse in front of him, first run, free lane and poof. Fade to back.
Frustrating.
