i think he is incorrect stating that the outside paths were better than the inside paths. an appreciable number of horses came through on the rail in the stretch, and many horses, particularly in sprints, would lead into the stretch on the rail, lose the lead by a head or neck, and come back on. it was really a jockey's track this year. in socal, it has always been the strategy to make your move on the far turn and get into striking position at the top of the stretch. at delmar this year, it was much wiser to wait until the 3/16th pole before really asking the mount for more. patience really paid.
