A number of things go into the decision of which race to choose for ROTW, some of which are business considerations. But mostly I try to choose races that are illustrative of something-- patterns, the impact of weight, ground loss, etc., in a case where we might view the horse differently than the public. I chose the race because I wanted to discuss Total Impact's pattern.

By the way, it's not clear whether it affected the outcome or not, but Supah Blitz was impeded.
