Kev,

I disagree with your point of view. I do think PP will matter especialy if it does not fit the horses running style.

The stats really do indicate that PP18-20 ans PP 1 are at an extreme disadvantage. Let's hypothetically say Bellamy Road Gets PP 20 and to his inside is High Fly, High Limit (with Blinks), Spanish Chesnut, Consilidator (who beat him pressing him as a 2yo) & Going Wild and Greeley's Galaxy, Afleet Alex & Sun King looking for position, all to his inside. What would you decide to bet under those cirumstances versus lets say he gets PP 3-4-5?

I think it might affect the outcome.

Thats just my opinion.
