So we have a race where the winner, the 2nd horse, and the 4th horse were, respectively, 7th, 8th, and 9th, in a 10 horse field, with the 10th horse badly outrun, YET, the consensus is that the only horse that ran early and finished with them GOT A BETTER SETUP.

The winner got the best setup of the top 4, as she RAN LAST. In other words, AFTER WaW had made her wide bid on the turn, AFTER Visit, who was behind FT to the turn, made that sharp move INTO the fastest fractions, and AFTER SH, who was also behind the winner, made her run.

As for Sealy Hill, I used her last out in exactas with Callwood Dancer, as they both had ridiculous trips in the Canadian S. She wasn't a mystery, she just happened to make the 2nd to last run in a race that fell apart. In fact, if she had a clear run, like the winner, she's probably a lot closer.
