He has gone :43 and change and still won. LITF is a very versatile horse. I think he could come from 4-5 lengths back if he wanted to, but there would never be a reason for him to be that far back.

Ummm, Rupe ... you kind of missed the point. Phalaris wasn't saying that Lost In The Fog
should run from off the pace ... but that he can't stay
with the pace when he's up against quality sprinters.
And because he can't stay
with the pace ... he can't win ... because he has no ability to come from
off the pace.
Do you see the distinction? Good ... I'm glad you do.
