I got into a debate about a definition of a closer.
Educate me.
A horse that makes his move down the backside from last to get into contention is that considered a closer?
I believe I only saw 2 dirt horse make any kind of closing move in the stretch.
If you weren’t in the top 2/3 going into the stretch you were done.
A closer to me makes his move the last half of the race especially the stretch no?
