obviously, i dont understand this sport

[ontheoutside]

i understand that he only has raced 1 time going into today
but why in the world would prado
gun this descreet treasure to the lead?ON THE RAIL NO LESS?
his only race he showed being out of it by 16 lengths at the half and won by 12 pulling up
that 28 leengths he closed in 3 furlongs
what was he thinking or is it i just have no insight of the sport when i see things like this?
