If you are going to go three deep, keep your momentum going forward; otherwise just wheel out at the quarter pole. Based on the head-on, it does look like the 4-path might be sought out today ... but that was only one race.

and Gobi? he was on the rail the whole race
how about the 8 in the 2nd race? you notice all these horses are coming up short?
and while the term rail is used it can be synonymous with being further inside. you can win off the rail, you just have to spend a considerable time of the race on it.
