HP,
"ground loss (two paths and up) lost on the turn is going to be to be too much to overcome most of the time even if you're riding a freight train." ........ I am a bit confused here. If a jockey is riding Secretariat (I am giving you the benefit of the doubt here, substituting Secretariat for a much faster freight train), he is better off tucked in behind average horses than he is running two wide? Are you saying that a complete sacrifice of momentum for a speed/stalker type is better than running two wide? Do you realize how many races are won by horses running two, three, or four wide? Would you be more willing to bet MD'o in the win spot if you think he will be saving ground by tucking in behind other horses with average speed, or would you like his chances better if he is stretching his legs in stride as he pleases, even if it means running two wide? (I know what Frankel and every other informed handicapper would say) Seriously, I must have misunderstood your post (in which case I apologize). Could you please elaborate.
