Yes, you should have let it drop. The older horse won the race and was co-fastest on both (actually slightly fastest on TG), As I said (read it again), the big difference concerned I Sweep Again and Straphanger. They had Straphanger faster, we had I Sweep Again (who finished second) much faster. Ragozin had the winner and Straphanger (up the track at 7/5) at the 15 level with I Sweep Again running a 19. We have attached the race so you can see how it looked on TG. Why not ask Friedman to post theirs so we can compare?
There are lots of great plays on trainer patterns. This was not one of them--just number power.
