WTF, this is Belmont, and especially on the wider turf, having a clear, wide run in the lane is the way to go.

TFM,
Great post.. So right. Just again now in the BEL 6th.. C. Hill on Ubillio's #2 and Edgar on Matz' #9 (to a lesser extent).. Goes around covered up the entire way and never get a chance to really make a bid. Odd way to attack a race.
