I like the matchup bet, but still...

I think we can agree that LAL had significant trouble in the first 1/4 mile. After 1/2 mile he was 13.5 lengths behind Super Saver. At the wire he was 7.5 lengths behind Super Saver. It gives me some pause.

btw, Schoolyard Dreams will be racing against more than 6 other horses for the first time in his short career. Never had to deal with a bumping steadying bunch like this. It might not matter, but I give some weight to horses that have had that kind of experience.
