I agree and think you can put SS in the same catagory. They both need to pass several horses in a group bunched up. Passing a lomg strung ou field will be very tough for either one. If they get there trip it could be very exciting with about half of the field gutting it out for the wire.

You think?
I think SS can be closer to the pace. I think his problem will be in a pack. If he gets a nice path behind a smaller group of front runners I think he can pick them off one by one.
