A spectacular performance. That 12F distance suits EA. He can get into his stride and then has time to turn it on when it counts.

Congrats from here as well. He ran a great race, and it was a kick to see him closing up the rail!

Some have said that the BC Marathon will simply involve a bunch of mediocre horses . . . I don't see it that way. They'll be horses who are good at doing a long route! And isn't that what everybody's complaining we don't have any more?

It is refreshing to see a race set up without the intense explosion out of the gate that shorter distances require. At 12F the field does not run away from EA right out of the gate because they are pacing themselves for the longer test.

edit: good catch cmorioles. 12 F it is.

It is 12f, not 10.
