And therefore what? The TG stats don’t measure only the past few months at SA so I have no idea how Douglas rode (in terms of paths) during that period. It may sometimes be better to be clear while three-wide than stopped on the fence, but I’ll guarantee you this much: it’s better to be in the clear on the rail than it is to be in the clear in the three-path. The TG stats reveal that, over a large sampling, some jockeys just refuse to save ground relative to other riders, regardless of what is happening in a race.
