The term "patient Pat" was never more appropriate than in Saturday's Classic.
How many jocks out there would not have taken advantage of Javier Castellano's decision to come off of the rail with GZ after the break leaving a huge hole at the inside?
What chance of winning did Day give AZERI by taking back off of soft fractions, removing any advantage she may have had---her early speed in a relatively paceless race?
Does anyone think Prado, Bailey,or Johnny V would not have sent AZERI to the front under those circumstances?
GZ probably would have still won, but don't you think it would have been a bit tougher?
Good Luck,
Joe B.
