High Finance is not lone speed, you are looking at his call position in a NW1x race instead of what you should be looking at, pace figures from something like BRIS.  Half the field (including bob/john and bluegrass cat) have went as fast as he has in a route in the early part of the race.

Weather calls for sustained winds of 25mph out of the NWN, will this be a headwind or tailwind in the homestretch?  That could be a factor today.

I like a EX box of B/J, BC, and Magic Carpet Ride.  Include Sunriver and OSA for 3rd.
