That is the #1 pace horse is faster to the ½-mile then the #5 horse and the later will be using himself up trying to catch him. In the mean time the #4 horse whom has shown ability to come off the pace while making a power move against today’s projected half mile of 110.4 will just blow right by the #5 horse who would probably still have an in the money finish.
Even if I am so lucky to be somewhat right as to my above thinking on this subject I have no confidence that I could think so clearly cold.

WHY?
You just described basically how Jim himself did the race with me before it ran that day "Mu".
He saw the 1:10.4 for the 1 turn mile on the 5 and told me quickly the 1 is a faster horse running the 1:10.4 around 2 turns.
You just said the same thing.
This thread is not done yet. We need to look at more Power Lines and Power Moves ok?
PATTERN RECOGNITION. That is Jim Bradshaw's Matchup.
