The Southwest figure was hardly a cut and dry, however.

The Southwest was race #9 and the track was sealed right before the 9th and 10th. Inconsistent weather. I had the variant showing the track getting a little slower later in the day, but not significantly slower.

Anyway, it should be interesting to see what the second place finisher does.

Those big margin, frontrunning wins on a wet track are always suspect to me. It's a big advantage to the horse that never gets the mud in the face. He ran fast to be sure, but I have to see it done again and he'll have to beat me doing it. His relatively quick turn around gives him a few points of credit back though in this day and age. You are right though, we should see the others run back before him, so that will help the evaluation considerably.
