Jimbo;

I was just going off the chart (Equibase says SF stumbled badly at the start), which explains why SF was 8-10 lengths off the lead at the start of the backstretch instead of much closer to the first flight, which I would have expected with his speed and 7 post. Granted, SF did get a rail trip otherwise. If the rail was dead, then SF ran even better than I thought. Regardless, my point was that the SF would have passed PD's neck and nose with only a slightly better trip. I didn't follow PD in the replay, but the chart does not indicate he had anywhere near the trouble SF did.

I was asking Jerry about the start because it didn't seem like anyone else here especially noticed it. Of course, I has SF to win and under SL in the exacta, so I may have a little bias going myself.

BTW, this is Bob (magicnight), using the wife's PC while out of town. Take care!
