Nice analysis, Richie. And it sure makes it easy to follow along when you insert all those screen shots.

I also played this race and used corollary support, but of a different kind.

You and I have different contenders and pacelines (what else is new :>)

Based on my BL/BL screen, #7 Don'twait Toolong looks like a clear winner with a 5 point BL/BL spread over the second choice.

However, one of the first things I noticed was courtesy of Bill Varone. #1 Blazen is a "Binder Improver" -- He is ranked fourth on the BL/BL screen, but he is listed as "2" under VDC. So, he goes fourth to second. That's the Binder Improver.

The corollary support I used for this was my Gulfstream Park model.

According to my model for this type of race: 100% of all winners are ranked first or second in VDC and SPN. Only two horses fit that here: #7 and #1.

Incidental support: 100% of winners have an ESP of "S" or "L". The E/L range is from -6.0 to -29.6.
