Yeah - and the KY Derby is when they all leave the rail wide open for fear of getting trapped.

The last year that they ran a KY Derby with a 24 horse field - the longshot winner came right up the fence and you could have driven a semi up the rail.

Good point.

It's laughable how many short fields get the fave or second choice trapped on the rail.
