Please - you'd have had him singled!

Surely you've come to appreciate the angle where: a horse shows speed routing (after a layoff and stumbling at the start, in this case); then is chasing the pace sprinting, to a wire job, next time out; then comes back in another sprint. Doesn't it make sense that the horse will have better speed the 2nd time sprinting? (and dropping in class)

I realize you're a follower of LAKE and figure that since his route speed horses ROUTINELY wire (seemingly faster early horses) in sprints, all horses can run this way.
