I'd be interested in CJ's take on the race. Specifically, if he thought the 1 had the worst of it in terms of 'pace'.
The chart for the race is wrong: going 8.5F the points of call are supposed to match the fractional points; the 1 was even with the 10 after 6F and was 3rd, 2 lengths behind at the 8F call. It looks real good on the chart having her pass 3 horses the last sixteenth but she really only passed ONE horse the last sixteenth and passed the others between the 6F and 8F calls.
Combine shitty data with poor race watching skills (or no race watching and reliance on data and ratings derived from it) and we get a sense of why the game is beyond challenging.
