I thought you were supposed to be the expert on race set up.
I guess the horse masqueraded as a trips expert and held himself wayyyy off the pace and then gambled that there would be room on the rail and closed inside.
of course the idea that the rail was some kind of conveyor belt is ridiculous
the question is whether they went to fast up front opening the race for a closer and whether he saved ground.
