Jeebs,

Just watched the Keeneland 4th, a MC50. An example of how early speed usually holds, especially if there isn't a hot pace. Castellano hustled the 7 to the lead and he held on to win, paying $31. The horse had never been on the lead before, never even close to the lead, but the jockey knew where he needed to be at Keeneland.

So, we've had three gate-to-wire winners and in the other, the winner pressed the leader hard and won by a neck. Most dirt tracks are like this, to some degree or another, but at Keeneland it really tilts toward early.
