Hi Bill,

Thanks for putting the race up. I actually answered your question correctly(who looked dominant early) using eyeball scan of pp's.

Serious question. Why hide a horse because he is the favorite if the pace match ups indicate he should be in the thick of it? Seems counter-intuitive to me and I would love your take on it. Thanks.

Jim

PS...When you say "I didn't lose", it reminds me of Let it Ride when Trotter is detained for being a suspected pick pocket and could not bet the horse wherein the jockey fell off while leading in the stretch.
