The fractions were very fast. A pressured leader got picked off, first over horse stayed for a clear third, & the second over got up on the wire. It was an exciting race. On the downside there should have been horses from the back charging. A huge negative about a smaller track is if you don't draw well...you have little chance. The betting reflected that too.

The 10 was in the second tier & not outside.

And that is not a disadvantage? Much more movement in races on smaller tracks.

The one left, got away third, & quickly brushed to the lead. It could be a disadvantage...bu t clearly not in this race.
