Fair enough.

The gate to wire finish he was speaking of was a claimer, which most of the races have been, and the half was in a 48 and the finishing time was a 1:47 and change. Crawling home and the top three ran 1-2-3 practically the whole race. Now if they couldn't close at those snail fractions how in the hell is CQ going to close from +10 out and win?

He's a toss outside of bottom exotic savers. That's my opinion. If it's a "bad" opinion well that's fine. I don't need someone telling me it is and then offering nothing but half a stand's in retort.

This is a pleasant enough exchange of info from a variety of well-informed parties... No one is being intentionally condescending or vitriolic... So.. let's quell the rhetoric..

Cheap speed will hold in cheap races and fold in quality races. This is not 100% but I think its a fair statement at just about any track.
