I don't see Ramon putting Points of Grace right on the lead, but maybe the connections will instruct him to do so because she ran so big last time.

You want to explain that ? He always saves ground, and always finds the rail. Even when he has no horse he gives you the best chance to win. Example, Thursdays 4th, he is riding the 10 he has no horse at all, but watch where he places this horse.

Look at his ride in the Diana, because of his trip it was that close.

How about taking a gander at his ride on Gio Ponti's last race.
