I suppose if Corey wanted the lead it's possible he would have had to leave Notional behind. Sometimes they just don't fire their best shot.

Notional n' P Secret were the disappointments in the race.The others either ran well,or were hurt by a track that did not allow somebody to close well on the leaders.We didn't get all that much rain,but this cushion surface is evidently very sensitive to water.They said speed might do better on it with a little rain.Wo Nelly...that filly who drew clear on the turn in the 7th stopped so badly.I have never seen a horse stop that badly,and still hold for 2nd place.This Hwd Futurity points out why a speed bias is not always so easy to cap for.I figured that Notional,Liquidity,or P Secret would lead that race.Who is on the lead? The horse that the trainer said needs to stay off the lead in this race.All week,he was saying that if he is a mile and a quarter horse,then he better start slowing down early in his races.
