I guess you never had one come to a crawl in front of you because of setting ridiculous fractions and you have no where to go.
Well if you're stupid enough to not realize the fractions can't hold up, then you deserve to get trapped behind tired horse. PULL

"Too stupid to realize the fractions."

"Don't have a chance to pull the right line."

"1st up and race is decided."

In 3 sentences you have much of what makes one driver better than another.  The good ones make those quick decisions, at the right time, more often than they don't.

Mr. Campbell  ....   Have a snickers.    Little touchy. 
I wasn't talking about any race in particular.
It was a general comment relative to the fact that during a race, drivers have to make split second decisions based on how a race is shaping up.   Who's in front of me, who's behind, who's spitting it, who's pumped up?
Should I back this thing off, should I try to catch the field napping and grab a couple of open lengths as we turn for home, should I get out now because if I don't, I'm going to get shuffled back to last and have to circle the field, should I stay in because the horse in front of me is pulling the drivers arms off and when he turns him loose, I'm good to follow and pop out in the last 1/8th.

Like in most sports, the greats are usually one step and one thought ahead of the average competitor.

Sometimes you never have a chance to pull the right line douche bag but you wouldn't know that since you've never sat behind a horse in your life.
Actually for what it's worth, I have sat behind a horse .  If a race early on is going ridiculous fractions, it's not likely that horses will on your right.  Most likely everyone is just trying to keep up at that point and my point is you pull before they back into you.  If you get caught playing with your pecker, your stuck.
