Ain't that the truth. I still think the best strategy for turf routes is the same as dirt routes, look for horses that can finish but don't figure to be more than a few lengths behind the pacesetters. In any race at any distance, if the horse you like doesn't figure to be within two or three lengths of the lead at the quarter pole, or on the lead, then pass the race.
