Jim:
My point was that Ironicus, with an inside trip, had to wait at the top of the stretch and checked while full of run in the lane when World Approval bore in. Although Flintshire was wider he never had to wait nor lose momentum.

The example was in response to the debate around saving ground. I agree with that for dirt racing however assuming their numbers stack up, I'll play the outside drawn horses versus inside all day long on the turf.

Good Luck,
Joe B
