He may not win, but he will have a huge impact on the race outcome. When Julien and Kent hit the half mile pole, PP has a five length lead, and they feel they have a lot of horse under them, they will have a tough decision to make. Do they inch closer to PP to get a jump on the deep closers, all the while knowing that PP is going to put up a fight. Or do they sit back and wait a little longer hoping that PP will be softened up.

What I see happening is PP running off like he normally does, the chasers and midpackers get closer on the far turn, PP spurts away in early stretch taking the race away from Einstein, Gio Ponti catches PP late, and then Stotsfold nails Gio at the wire with Just As Well a hard-charging 3rd.
