As for the betting, any 'capper had to factor her in, whether as a win candidate or a pace factor.

Are KY rules the same as NY for multi race bets? Do you get the post time favorite in the event of a scratch? If so you wouldn't have gained anything because Blind Luck was (IMO)hurt by the non effort by LAT. The "real" LAT would have assured a far faster pace, making Blind Luck's chances better.

Yeah I guess the pace would have been a bit faster, but from what I remember, with exception of the Stall's horse in the first no one really came from out of the clouds all day. I don't think you wanted to be on the lead or on the rail either, but somewhere near that front pack in the middle of he track.
