jbelfior,

I agree. The size of the field was and often is a factor for those deep closers like Aldebaron.

What I really wonder is how Congaree would have done at 6F.

I believe he is better than all of them on pure ability, but the 6F may have also given him some fits. He might have gotten hung wider than usual and then had to kick after chasing a pace that was a lot quicker than he's used to. A lot of decent speedy milers have come up empty in the sprint despite good speed figures coming in. Congaree is a lot like Precisionist though. It would have been interesting.
