I guess a case could made for the Dixie figures that he followed the runnerup who was running 4's. And Ironicus had a top of 5, while all the others who had been running 2's were caught 10 wide turning for home. So therefore Ironicus didn't really move up a lot, some but not a lot.
Yes he went from having NO trip to a dream trip but looked shot out of a cannon once clear off the rail and galloped out from Pimilco to the Potomac ahead of the rest of the field....
A half to a bunch of fast ones and almost all that mares siblings got a lot better at 4 and even 5. In the hands of a conditioner who has handled a decent turf horse or two, namely Lure and Point of Entry. The 15-1 morning line looks almost laughable now ( no I didn't have him) but this one could make the summer interesting in a pretty even division at or around this distance!!
