If anyone has a second, check it out and let me know if that was a possibility or if, as usual I'm just seeing this wrong. Thanks!
Soxfan,
The rail has been dead at Keenland all week.....your idea makes sense except for the extreme bias. All the jockeys were avoiding the 1-3 paths like the plague.

Agreed. . . Important to note: Pyro and CCM were on the inside. . . And Miner's Claim popped and stopped on the rail.

I must say that I loved the results of the Blue Grass. I would also say that I think it's interesting that someone would use War Pass' rebound performance in the Wood as an example of a horse bouncing back off a poor performance when many people are calling this year's Wood one of the worst grade one's they've seen. He finished second but I don't think it was a good performance.

I hate Pyro and still say that he can't beat War Pass.

who are some of the 'many people' saying the wood was one of the worst? i believe randy moss said pretty much the exact opposite, that the track was playing very slow, that it was faster than many realize.
i think some are discounting the race since they thought war pass wasn't that good, and since he ran well that day, they have to make out that it was a bad race in order to still be 'right' about the two year old champ.

it's probably because they came home like they were running in quicksand
