CtC,
I guess I am not making my point. Well, it won't be the first time. Anyway, last chance for me, then I move on.
If you think the Classic might have been two points too fast BECAUSE of the pace, it is also likely that the Whitney was a few points too slow because of the pace. If you are going to factor pace in, then do it all the time.
I agree with you on pace in general. I also was at least as impressed with RIM's Whitney than I was with the horse's Classic, because of the pace factor.
But I do disagree with you that GZ needs things his own way. He closes in sprints, stalks in fast paced routes, and goes to the front in routes when the pace is tepid. I call that tractable and Jerry's figures point him out as a very serious race horse.
