whoever said giacomo doesn't need a race to set up perfectly for his running style doesn't know what they're talking about. he makes one sustained run, and has to have the right pace to close into. it's why he hasn't won much, but does often hit the board. he isn't a bad horse, he just has to have things his way--as do a lot of horses. but horses with his style of running more often than not aren't the first at the wire.
all his connections can do is enter and hope for the best. maybe he gets a good trip and the right pace. it's all any owner of any horse with a certain style can hope for, whether they're a speedster or a closer, or somewhere in between.
