He ran the same race yesterday as he always has ... which is good enough to win against palookas ... but not good enough to win against decent quality sprinters ... much less really good sprinters.

What are you talking about? LITF was behind Kelly's Landing in the early going yesterday. LITF has much more early speed than KL. KL is not a speed horse. LITF was 4 length ahead of KL in the early going in their previous race. LITF obviously did not fire yesterday. He didn't even show any early speed.
In the BC Sprint, I personally don't think that LITF fired. However, you could at leat make a case that he fired. He showed some speed and he got tired. You could at least make a halfway credible argument that he fired but just wasn't good enough. In yesterday's race, nobody in their right mind could think the horse fired. He didn't even show any early speed yesterday. He was behind KL in the early going. That was not the same race that LITF usually runs. He always shows early speed. Yesterday was the first time ever that he showed no speed. You can't argue that he showed no speed because the horses were too fast because we know that LITF is normally much faster than KL in the early going.
