Just feels like a two horse race, one horse has the pace advantage and a better price so I would weight most of a multi race play that way.
Watching the replay of the Acorn, it was Abel Tasman who got the jump on Salty. Abel Tasman was literally "bounding along" after the first 1/4 mile and accelerated dramatically when asked.

Salty, on the other hand, seems like a horse that takes her time getting in gear.
