Running styles are segmentally defined by distribution.

In his last prep for the K. Derby, War Emblem ran WIRE TO WIRE, on the lead LATE and I knew I had a shot with him that first Saturday in May as many simply stated he was a one dimensional front runner.

Little did the know.

POSITION is only in relation to the pace. MANY MANY earlies run many lengths behind the entire race. IT IS THE HORSE"S ENERGY DISTRIBUTION NOT the position that defines it ......PERIOD, with the exception of the few Barbaro's and Nashua's of the world (Hard Spun too) that are on the lead no matter the pace as POSITIONAL front runners but they are few and far between.

EYEBALLING is too subjective and wlll often be wrong.
