I agree with you. I was expecting Sanchez to go a bit with the 12 to at get him in the mid pack 3rd to 5th range. The 5 was a tough sell, 0/8 at the distance, looked like a horse that did not want to go more than 5 1/2 furlongs. Did show speed in the past and I figured they would get close early with that horse, just did not expect him to keep going late. Speed is always a dangerous commodity in this game.
