CtC2--
Yes, I meant the win spot. After COAX ME CHAD behind SWALE in 1983, anything can run 2nd.
Very tough to do a pace scenario. PEACE RULES crawled on the pace when wiring the Blue Grass, then stepped up to run some quick fractions on Derby day.
My opinion is class horses can step up and run whatever you ask them to. Others, when faced with a pace scenario that other classier animals can handle, fold up. Perhaps this is what happened to CONSOLIDATOR in the Blue Grass. I emphasize the word "perhaps."
Good Luck,
Joe B.
