This is a solid point. And the same applies for the Kentucky Cup Classic.

We also have to remember that jockey's ride the race as well. And John Velazquez aboard Lawyer Ron will take the race to Hard Spun a bit earlier if he thinks Mario Pino is too loose-on-the-lead. It could spell disaster, but jockey's know they can't let Hard Spun get away too freely.

If Wanderin Boy or someone like that enters the race, this all becomes moot.
