I like that term, " BLENDED TOGETHER ." That's an
eye-opening way to define and view pacelines. This should be repeated and
not forgotten. Good MatchUp definition of picture.

I also see at THAT point of the 2nd fight the 2 is still almost 3 lengths back of the 4.

The tandem race TWO horses ganged up on the 4 and fought him both early and late in the race.

TODAY there will be only ONE fight and that will be early on with the 8.

Now , WOW, THAT'S a way of taking a race apart horse by horse,
bolt by bolt, screw by screw. That is also a good working example of the
mentality used and inner mechanics of the use and the why's of Tandems.

You've made this race virtually 3-Dimentional. Pretty close to holographic
projection. The MatchUp- a virtual TIME MACHINE and Mental HDTV to " see " a race run HOURS before it appears on the teleprompter.

Definitely going to be studying this one.
