I've already had this discussion with Fatman amd in particular regarding the BC Mile, where he thought Goldikova got a dream trip and Whatsthescript didn't. My point was one of many of Goldikova's assets is that she has the tactible speed to be placed wherever the jockey wants her to be given the dynamics of a race, something that Whatsthescript doesn't have the luxury of. I am willing to chalk up Goldikova's favorable trip had more to do with her than her being lucky, still she was closer to a hot pace than perhaps was necessary but the Jock probably knew she was good enough to win despite this, by keeping her out of trouble, so Fman you wanted an example of a good horse that puts herself in good spots, here she is.
