On my drive home, I really tried to understand what was so bad about Garcia's ride. Okay I'll play along, if he goes to the rail saves abit of ground around the 1st turn, she then follows Will O Way, Zardana around the track, waits for a split that may or may not occur or worst gets stopped following inferior horses...How is she going to outrun Zenyatta the last 1/8th of a mile if that magical split happens if she loses her tactical advantage? I know you referenced Awesome Gem's trip but that was against Rail Trip, not a horse that has yet to be beaten in the final 1/4 mile run of a race. Help me understand this instance of yours that Garcia's ride was dirt awful that it may have cost St. Trinians the race.
