You really need to qualify that with "AND gets the same perfect trip as last year'. Didn't see the race today but it appears that girlie needs that inside stalking/drafting (last move) trip to run her best. Maybe that's why she 'quickened' so nicely in the BC, huh? Not rocket science here. Horses that don't win when they don't get things their own way are TYPICAL.
