Nice thoughts.
On Practical Joke, he ran his race. Maybe a little short on pedigree. Maybe just doesn't mind losing. Maybe a little of both.
On McCraken, he was no lock to go either way. Not the fastest going in on a line that's become a sucker's line, an unblemished but too brief resume. Also a rough trip.
As for the rail bias, I don't remember which race I'd just watched, maybe the 8th or 10th, but it seemed to play pretty fairly to all paths. Maybe not but closers has some say in the outcome and not all races were won from rail.
