Dance City ran an awesome race and stayed on, but Sway Away, to me, ran a better race considering the overwhelming ground loss and an abyssmal ride from PVal that looked like he thought The Factor was the only horse in the race.

Yeah, I can't see how they gave Sway Away and Dance City both 3w2w.
SW was always at least 3 paths wider that DC every step of the way.

A friend of mine told me there was a correction on the sheet to 3w4w, which still understates his first turn. Not to mention the middle move

I feel like he's a closing sprinter, and if this race were run 100 times, a big chunk of them he puts in a middle move and flattens out again. But, I guess I'm second-guessing myself enough to use him a bit.

I've never been a big fan of Sway Away, but after watching the Arkansas Derby again, I think he ran a better race than Dance City. I'm willing to give him another route race before I dismiss him as a closing sprinter. I'm playing him to win at 10-1 or higher.
