Horses like to RALLY outside horses. Comparing this to a horse riding the rail while on the lead doesn't make sense. When you add in Monday's strong rail, and the lack of ability by the second finisher, you create a recipe for the winner hanging on.
The most preferable trip is saving ground on the turn and angling outside into the clear in the stretch when you are coming from behind....unless you are dealing with a horse that is an effective rail runner. These horses may not be rare but they aren't the norm.
