It always seems to generate more hype when it's a 9f maiden or allowance winner at Gulfstream because people start thinking that if they can go that far early, 10f will be right up their alley, especially for a late closing runner. It just seems to me though, that the majority of winners and closers of these types of races are slow grinders that can put out a series of 24-25 second quarters or one-run horses with no speed. There's the occassional exception but for the most part, you don't get the kinds of horses that have that sort of push button acceleration that you like to see in really good horses.
