On a handicapping note, did the 36-1 winner of the race - Polar Star - fit what Andy Beyer referred to as a "Z pattern" in his book "Picking Winners"? I bet the place horse but in looking back at what I may have missed in the winner's PP lines, I note a distinct change in race tactics in his two prior (and only) starts on the grass. He'd shown early foot in his start two back (and also in several starts on dirt) but in his last race was taken back off the pace and raced a bit through the stretch, passing a few horses. Root went back to Leyva today, his go-to-rider - and Polar Star comes from well out of it to get the $. Thoughts??
