BG Stables and Selman Shaby’s Usually Wrong, entered in Saturday’s $400,000 Valvoline Global Shakertown (G2), has been usually right every time he has raced on the grass for trainer Robertino Dioidoro.

After four starts on the dirt, “there was a race on the turf at Evangeline Downs,” Diodoro said. “Usually it rains a lot there, but the race stayed on the grass so we thought we’d try it.”

The result was a daylight victory and the first of five in seven grass starts.

“He has a better turn of foot on the grass, and he’s the kind of horse that doesn’t need the front and can sit off the pace,” Diodoro said. “You have a horse that can do that at any level and that makes it nice.”

Winner of the Colonel Power (L) and the Duncan F. Kenner (L) in front-running fashion in his past two starts at Fair Grounds, Usually Wrong will be making his graded stakes debut in the Valvoline Global Shakertown going 5½ furlongs.

“He has already beaten a couple of those in there,” Diodoro said of Usually Wrong, who will be ridden by Isaac Castillo from post 12. “I would rather be a few spots in (from the 12) but it is better than the 1 or 2.”

Usually Wrong races for his breeders, and Diodoro is quick to credit them.

“They are very patient and they don’t rush things. Just let the horse tell us what he wants to do,” Diodoro said.
