really, fair pace? it was the weirdest race of the day. they went 45 and change. horses that were 6 lenghts behind were not going to make that distance at that pace. every other race was inside speed, even the marathon winner rode the rail closing. when that horse ran off, it was a gift to the winner. the field was not that good to begin with and one of the favorites ran off. music note did not run good and was steadied a little, it left the race wide open. i would not draw any conclusions after that mess. from what i saw if the pace is normal, tactical speed is really good inside. that was the only race that fell apart, the pace was ridiculous.
