this is why deep closers that almost get there at 9f usually do the same at 10f.
I'm not sure I get your point. The three horses I mentioned all won off the front end of their last prep races.

do you ever get the feeling that if this year's derby was run on polytrack there'd be like an 8 way photo?

Nah, that would be too predictable for the poly. It would probably wind up more like the Lexington with Stormello wiring the field just to completely throw off everyone.

If it was run on Poly..we would have to say it's the best 3 minutes in sports instead of 2 minutes.
