As Joly said, the pickens were slim, so what choice did you have and even though the feature race was cut down to a hand full, it was still a tricky little race to handicap and I don't blame anyone for putting Brad's horse on top. As we have all learned, can't leave anything trained by Chad or Brad or Todd out without regretting it, but didn't turn out that way this time. Still, lone speed wins an awful lot of races, but we are often taken aback by it. I don't know about you guys, but for myself, I miss a lot of races by being dazzled by trainer stats and big speed figures and not focusing on that old sage advice about "the pace is the race" and so this is just one more race that I read wrong.
