Not sure what Apart has to do with anything. I'm basing it on my opinion of the horse. I don't need to be Kreskin to figure out you liked Redding Colliery and instead of just accepting he's not that good, it's going to be excuse after excuse. Successful Dan is better than he is. Much better.
Simple question, if he opens up 5 or 6 early, who do you think wins the race?

He easily could've done that. The horse sitting 4th in the Haw Gold Cup was 13 lengths out after 6f...and he was an early speed horse. With a perfect pace setup, Giant Oak was a non-threatening 4 1/2 lengths behind RC at the 1/8th pole (the 1 1/8 mile point) of the Hawthorne Gold Cup. Giant Oak was a huge underlay in the Marathon due to bettors thinking he was flying. He wasn't. RC was just getting tired after setting too fast a pace.
