Appreciate the feedback and no one wants to push the envelope here. Looking for a more appropriate spot for distance and an easier spot is likely the next move.

On the fractions, the slow fractions are almost too hard to believe based on all the other races, last year's fractions, etc. I am not saying they are incorrect. The race fell apart on the front end after those slow fractions is what is a bit difficult for me to settle in my mind. It likely means the front end horses were not very good or distance challenged in large part. A tiny bit of me wondered if there was any wind of note but I do not believe so. The track did seem to be more favorable to off the pace types as the day went on.

I would put a PLUS next to Incredibolt's speed figure no matter the figure maker based on closing so easily into that slow pace, shading 12 seconds, and his (SHUDDER moment for many out there and maybe rightfully so) visual impression late.
