It seems like they only crawl on the front when you have bet against a speed horse in a race loaded with speed and then when you bet what appears to be the lone speed they all go.

That was a tough horse to take under any circumstances, horse looked like a professional maiden. Needed every bit of a perfect trip to win today and frankly if the 1 got loose I would be willing to bet that Rare Eagle would have given up the ghost big time.
