Swift Strike

[the_fat_man]

Lugged in, hitting the rail, just before the wire, losing his action, and 2nd, in the process. Yet, to that point, he was getting a perfect trip, in terms of ground covered, and, after some thought, in terms of race dynamics. He would never have beaten the winner, who last moved the field, but early laggers would've finished 1-2. Another example of trouble (potentially) obscuring interpretation.
