You may give a horse credit in its figure for leaving the gate after the other horses, but not for running slower after that. Go to NTRA.com and watch Clockstopper in the BC Sprint video you will find there. Please have the deceny to report your findings on the Ragozin site, where you took shots at me, both about whether he breaks with the field, and what path he is in around the turn.
BC Chart Comment --
\"CLOCK STOPPER was completely void of speed, saved ground on the turn, angled out in upper stretch then again near the sixteenth-pole and failed to menace while finishing with some interest.\"
Your point is well taken, but it isn\'t going to end the debate because they will simply argue that they made a subjective judgment about the quality of first few strides relative to normal. :-)
