He always goes 7 wide with her, because he's spotting the whole field about 20 lengths and ends up having to circle them.

the rail was open that day , isn't the rail the shortest way home ?, your inside , your saving ground your not going wide

When Smith made his decision the inside wasn't open yet.

his decision was made before the race started , he knew he had to be wide , it was the best part of the track to be that day (and most days ) , he went wide and won , ramon tucked inside and lost

take the same 2 horses and give them the different rides and you have a different winner

Marty, she is 14 for 14 and do you know how many times she has came up the rail to win. ZERO!. It had nothing to do with the track.

Watch and see.

Clearly this is missed by Marty. Trying to bring that beast through the inside's like parking your 18 wheeler in the Compact Car space.

Now granted I don't watch the majority of races, or even 25% of them at Golden Gate...but it does seem to me that it's a track for closers on the outside.
