This is so worthless, but just for the record, you just said 3 of the 7 races were won by horses from dead last, right? One of them being Life is Sweet, who was in a race with an insane rabbit-like pace and the other was Zenyatta, one ofthe greatest horses of all time. Taking those two out, 1 of the 7 races, namely the marathon, a very unusual distance, and he ran up the inside, by the way. Lastly, the \"2 path\" and \"pocket trips\" don\'t sound like they were wide either?!
I\'ve said this many many times, one of the great things about racing is so many people can look at the same race or races, and all come to completely different conclusions (which also can make it profitable). So to each his own. In fact, BC day WAS a strong closers bias, with wide trips paying off - I agree with you. 100%. Lucky should have won easily, esp. from post 13 (even though to my knowledge no horse has ever won from post 13 in a 1 /16 route race in Santa Anita History - as least as far back as I can remember 20+ years. I can\'t remember too many post 13\'s in mile & 1/16 route races anyway,but, seriously, can we talk about something productive. You win. I\'m too exhausted to keep this thread going.
