Jeff:

One final thought on the 9th at CT. I was wondering about paceline selection on Terms. The horse seems to be a virtual "need to lead" early type horse and the lone early in the race. Looking at the past performances the horse only wins on the lead or very, very close to the lead. Otherwise, the horse folds. Was the last line the best line, especially when the horse was not on or very close to the lead? Look at where the horse did its best running (6.5f at CT, same as this race). Since the horse looks like it is coming in to form wouldn't it have been better to use a line where the horse was on the lead or very, very close to the lead in order to give it a fair chance in the program?
