Of course, no one ever said he was "headstrong" or "stubborn".
Nevertheless, please explain why it made sense for Ghostzapper to be up on the engine between St. Liam (12-1) and Presidentialaffair (37-1)--never mind Midway Road's brief 1/4 mile effort--through fractions of :45+ and 1:08+ in the Woodward if he could be positioned anywhere in a race (so long as he was in the clear, of course).
