It doesn't always work that way. Sometimes a horse will burn up more energy being restrained than if they were let go... Kip Deville is a good example of that. IF he would have been rated (or attempted to be rated) last time out, he would have been burnt out. I like KD. I actually remember arguing with bold over his pedigree. With that said, I don't care for him in this race. No offense...
