Rich:
I was surprised that the # 11 horse did not cook the favorites goose #7 early on since he was a winner from on the lead only as demonstrated in his only win races. The # 7 horse was weak in two areas, he will lose if forced to fight for the lead early and he will lose if pressed closely especially if the presser can challenge him at the top of the stretch. The #11 horse ran an early pressing race maybe not so good for him since he really shows no Power Move race late in a race but good enough to weaken the favorite. The winner #4 horse had the perfect running style-presser/sustained presser with the necessary speed and very strong late Power Moves: after the half and top of the stretch.
Sometimes things happen the way we figure and we win; sometimes things happen somewhat different then we figured and we still win; and sometimes we just lose.
I love this pastime,
Robert
