Early speed and faded?
Closed to run 2nd or 3rd?
They certainly did not win or they couldn't be in this race today.
hi FTL and Lou

How about a horse that beats half the field Maybe 4th or 5th
in a 11 horse field beaten by 3 or 4 lenghts
with a speed rating within 3 points of the best speed ratings of the runners in todays race or made a stong gain in the second fraction first race after a
layoff .

That is what Doc veiwed as a good effort or "showed something"
and was a plus within a zero type effort
