You constantly DWELL on the OBVIOUS. No doubt, if a number of horses are dooking it out and the pace falls apart, you want them back. Though you'd be surprised how often the horse doing the most running in terms of the setup just doesn't run well next out. (This is an angle I follow and it disappoints in relation to some others.)
The POINT of this thread, however, is that THE WINNER ran a HUGE EFFORT
AND
he wasn't supposed to given the FIGURE and, by most interpretations, THE SETUP. By all conventional accounts he 'sucked up', 'got a perfect trip', etc.
Either he's an anomaly or the system needs tweaking.
