That's what makes the game so difficult --especially the way we play it.
I typically don't play horses like this, as I agree with most of your points.
However, in a race where the top 4 finishers ran essentially EVENLY all around the track, he was the only horse to pass, and pass significantly.
Suffice to say, there are easier spots than this race.
