I buy in to the idea that there are certain horses which do their best running loose on the lead, and that their chances should be downgraded considerably in a race where that is unlikely, but I'm not following how that applies to Max. He ran what was then a new life top coming from far back in a 7f race on 2/16, wasn't loose on the lead when he paired his new top on 4/17, & wasn't loose when he ran a new top/paired on 7/25. My take is that Max is pretty versatile.
I'm also wondering what leads you to the conclusion that Don will likely shake loose. Is your conclusion based on the raw nos in his last two, or on the pace figures you(I think) posted in connection with another race? If the latter, any chance you could explain what they are for this race? Perhaps it was just me, but they were a little hard to follow the 1st time around.
