I find that it's not a very good idea to say "fractions aside" when they're that extreme.
My point is that it really shouldn't matter what happened in the third quarter since War Pass ran his last three furlongs in just under 41 seconds. How much ****ing slower does he have to go to make you consider that Court Vision should've been able to pass him, even if CV was 10 1/4 behind WP at the three-eighths?
Fractions aren't everything, but when a horse runs :22.46 around a turn and :46.07 on a glib track, then finishes in damn near :41 for three furlongs, they matter.
