Close, no cigar

Monster Move trainer John Hertler hoisted '1 for 64' apprentice Berrios Cruz on 7-year-old Classic Marilyn at 40-1 in Belmont's seventh race–an attempt to make his meet with one big score. The mare lead every step, but the last to pay $31.20 to place and $15.60 to show. She lost by one-half a length. Good try!
