In this particular race, he broke 8th, 8th at the 1st call, 9th at 2nd call, 8th at Stretch call and 9th at the Finish. Lone comment was that the horse "was never close" at any point.

With the mix of run styles as they are, how does one truly make a "call"?
I would check the charts on some of those races and see if there is a pattern in how the field is running those races. Are there a lot of Es fighting for the lead in some but not in others? Is a lone E getting out front early and coasting down the back stretch? And so on. And without more to go on, I'd ignore that race in the slop.
