I apologize if this seems nasty, but sorry if I don't respect his thoughts more than yours. Appearances can be very deceiving in this game.

Why don't you take a moment to comment about what appeared to be an inside bias for some of these races on Saturday. Don't you think that the fact that more than a few horses made significant inside gains is relevant to the discussion? Especially in the Excelsior, where More Than A Reason looks like he's going to run them down midstretch, only to hit a wall, and Nite Light can't keep up early/mid stretch, then 'surges' late for 2nd. I think more than the pace affected what happened in the Excelsior.
