I agree that the 9 could be used underneath
But as Bill Parcells great NFL 2 time superbowl coach says
"You are what your record says you are"
And to me the 9 is a horse that picks up and benifits from
tired horses. You bring up a good point about FX and FW
If the 9's last line was so great why was its Fx and VDC so
low ?
Looking at #9's pacelines the only win showing was that 7.0 CD race
I also see in that race it was on behind by 8 lengths at the 1st call
In all its failed sprint races it was much farther back
Here is what the chart for yesterdays race shows
Once again In a sprint it picked up the pieces and got third
but it is too far back to win the race
