Why are folks always suckers for the closers.

They watch Horse A battle through fast fractions, put away the chasers on the far turn, then hold off the deep closer Horse B, and their immediate thought will be, "Horse A was just lucky. One more jump and Horse B would have caught her. Horse B is the better horse."
