I can only speak for myself but a "fair" race to me is when everyone has a chance. The pace isn't too hot that it is virtually impossible for speed to hold on and isn't too slow that it is virtually impossible to come from off the pace.
Tizway is a NW2X allowance horse that had never competed in a stakes race. Lezcano could not necessarily rely upon Tizway to "soften" Commentator up.
