I agree with what you are saying. I'll conceed that he was wider than you want to be going into the first turn.
Wait On Tate didn't really affect the race IMO. Maybe a Winyah fan could argue he hampered that one a little. Maybe. Winyah was dueling with Tate, but I'm not sure Winyah was ever making a big winning threat on the front.
A.P. kind of loped along and by the time he got to even terms, WateTate was finished. Winyah was finished.
At that point in the race A.P. had the jump on everyone, and no one even challenged other than Faith's Magic.
It wasn't a terrible race from AP(no one else really ran much better) but I feel like if the class goes up or if he faces pace pressure from an actual win candidate he could be exposed.
