example is the 6th today at GP...
the 11 horse exits a series of slow paced races where he had poor setups. Last race he was near the back in a race where they broke fast for 1st-turn-position, and then took hold onto the backstretch.
So, the trainer/connections' answer is to drop in class. Doesn't get the full literal drop because this is a more contentious meet. Does fit, and does get Irad.
Nothing esoteric here, he should take money and likely run about to his odds, but the point is about the pace.
The comments for the last race are not reflective of the reality. "Mostly 4W; outfinished".
He was not 'outfinished'. He finished fine.
