Nothing is ever simple when it comes to Gulfstream Steve. There is a built in excuse for everything they do, or don't do.
As I said, I'm not saying it is impossible to close on the course. But I don't think you want to be too far off the pace. When there is a contested pace (as was the case in the last and in the sprint stake on Sunday) it makes it easier to close.
