Someone else mentioned it recently so I started paying attention, and it's true. He doesn't seem to know how to judge the pace. They're always "blazing away" on the front end, forgeting that that is what sprinters are supposed to do at Belmont. What is the alternative for sprinters, a sensible or dawdling pace on the front end?
