Hard Spun ran well. He's shown a lack of late punch in his recent races and Cable Boy did make him run early. The Fractions were legitimate.
You also had the Plech in NJ factor and a recent top out of Lawyer Ron in a Grade I that defies explanation.
But regarding your contention that nothing ran well from inside and marginally off pace you are joking aren't you? Are you really telling this board that AGS's effort stands out because he ran inside from a length and a fraction back of two horses hitting it hard? Did we all view the same race? Did you factor the other races on that card? You aren't really going to move AGS up factoring a win against bias off that effort are you? For instance like when he runs in the Travers?
Inside was a very good place to be Sunday at Monmouth and horses liked it there from out in front and just off the pace.
The first rule of evidence is ascertaining what is a fact and what is not.
A handicapper can go a very long way by merely being able to ascertain the facts.
