Mike,

I think the question mark about distance and the abundance of early speed in the race is why she went off at 12-1.

I thought the risks were overblown because she seemed faster than most of them and a couple of others were rated in the past.

My experience has taught me that a lot of the time that you think there is going to be a duel or fast pace (and so does everyone else) there isn't. And some horses that have never rated before demonstrate that they can when confronted by an extreme pace situation. I thought the odds board reflected a duel as a lock. Had the odds board reflected no possibility of a duel or rapid pace I would have went the other way.
