I just went back and watched the (headon) replay of their last race, as, per the chart, DG couldn't run with FSFS in the lane. What I saw was that they got identical trips to tonight's race: DG was on the inside and FSFS was coming wide. What the chart didn't show me was that DG had no room the last part of the stretch run. Now, even if I'd know this earlier, I still wouldn't want this horse over FSFS as she got the inside trip, even though she was blocked; but she definitely was usable in exotics. Missed opportunity for the lazy.
