If you did so for the Southwest and Rebel - the horse you'd focus on with the pictures would have been Sierra Sunset.

Both of them had Sacred Journey running off - but Sierra Sunset was being pestered by sprinter Silver Edition and never allowed to rate - where in the Rebel Sierra Sunset had an excellent tactical position.

While Denis Of Cork rated off that crazy fast pace in the Southwest - he was still in mid-pack - in front of half the field.

To me, it's not so much that DoC had a great trip - his trip was no better than all but three horses in the race - it's that the strong early pace set him up and allowed him to run his "ceiling" final time speed figure.

Where as the slow paced Hawthorne race was like a short sprint - with the top two finishers getting a head-start - and him stuck wide while the winner was on the best footing inside.

I already mentioned the Sierra Sunset trip in one of your picture threads. Do pay attention son.

Denis of Cork did have a better trip than those behind him, but they all sucked anyway, so he had the best trip of those that mattered in the Southwest. I bet him that day (just look back at the favorites!) but did not come away very impressed.

Isn't that what I said? But like I also said, it doesn't explain getting whipped by Atoned.
