Crypto Bounces Back to Win The OP Mile
For the most part in his career, Crypto has been more reliable on the race track than cryptocurrency may be as an investment, but in his last race, there was some concern that his value was on the decline.

Heading into the race, Ma Petite Penne looked to us like the one to beat, but the bettors thought otherwise and allowed our pick to go off at odds of 8/1. She didn’t have the same time of resume as others, and is why she may have ended up as a longshot, but ever since she started receiving bute, she has not only been winning, but dominating, with three length victories in her last two starts.
