Beyerguy,
Why would you say Scrappy T was completely spent, finished and exhausted? Scrappy T had run a 2 3/4 in the race before, not a 4. So, you have him backing up 3 or 4 points? I don't think so.
Are you basing your "spent finished and exhausted" comments because Scrappy T. was near a fast pace? Well, the pace was not fast for that track that day. He had a nice inside post and tracked a nice pace, not a blistering one. And he tracked it, he wasn't "on it".
They ran 43.1 or so in the sprint race to the half. 46 is not quick for a grade one quality 3-year old on that track on that day.
I also don't understand why everybody on this board thinks Survivalist is a sprinter and couldn't pair up at 1 1/8? By Danzig out of Mr. Prospector mare. Maybe doesn't want 1 1/4, but 1 1/8 should be a fit. This isn't Phone Trick or Glitterman.
