I guess we'll just have to wait and see what happens. I have a hard time believing that if he gets a trip similar to the winner's that he's not there at the end.

This is an example of the kind of (all too frequent) **** that I can only explain by assuming that those involved are challenged. I have a race where a horse has sprint speed and another is stretching out (2nd lifetime start) from 6F, and the former is left to chase and bid at a horse that's cutting back from a route where it'd rated at the end of the pack (after a slow break) and the latter is able to fall into sitting a perfect trip.
