What was so great about Dynaforce's Flower Bowl last year? How she waltzed along on a bog and kicked away late? That turf course was as ridiculous as any that's been run on in America over the last 5 years save the '07 BC.

Kent took advantage of the way the course was playing at AP and the dynamics of the race. He moved too soon and, on any other day at AP (and any other fair course), PC CRUSHES her. But you need to give him credit, as he correctly read the situation. Ramon did the same thing with GIO: he moved him prematurely but got away with it on that day at that course. Of course, GIO is much better, relatively, than Dynaforce.
These races are both interesting from the 'got the jump on them' tripping perspective. Here's a RARE case where this was true and proved to be an advantage. The problem, of course, is that there are many more cases where getting the jump on them means getting the worst of it. That this distinction causes so many problems of interpretation for so many, continues to confuse the **** out of me.
Definitely agree with the 2nd part as well.
