You're actually getting at a good point. Recapturetheglory was simply the quickest horse in a race that was completely devoid of early speed. He was allowed to dawdle in the early stages and had plenty left when the running started. However, it seems clear that if Recapturetheglory runs what seems to be his typical 1/4 and 1/2 mile then he will most likely find himself well off the pace. If he had a craftier jockey than ET Baird one might actually think he could get a good stalking spot in a race that is certainly going to have a fast pace. However, the likelihood of him stalking and pouncing effectively is extraordinarily low.
