why anyone thought after his last race he would enjoy more distance, i don't know.

I think anyone who studies the game
would see there were two possibilities going into the Arkansas Derby.

EITHER:
A.) The horse can't be rated, unless clear on a non-existent pace (Remsen)

or

B.) The horse was asked to go too fast early vs. Silver City, and would have more left should he be rated at a moderate pace.


Now , following the Arkansas Derby, We get no answers.
The horse went too fast early again in what looked like jockey urging early speed rather than a runaway brama bull fighting heavy restraint. The jockey may or may not have been caught napping on a breather. AND the horse comes out with a fracture and we don't know when it occured.

Luckily we have DT expert analysts who can conclusively dissect these unknown puzzles.

Can you just share some of your secrets about how you solve these complex problems??
