An example of that situation would be Maragh's ride on Flat Bold in the James Marvin.
In one extreme, you can duel in a fast pace against a better/faster horse and hope to take him down but definitely take yourself down --- Flat Bold
In the other, you can let a fast horse get loose in slow fractions and forget about ever getting him. Now, I know that the connections didn't bring Big Drama up to Saratoga to have him SIT behind fractions slower than some 2 year old maidens ran earlier. They're happy with 2nd but they're wondering what happens if Coa was just a LITTLE BIT ahead of Mambo Meister early.
