Who could argue with you? But when you rely on the "red scan" alone for contender selection, as Lehane does in his book...then you would quickly eliminate a horse who beat the same group of horses by 15 lengths in its last start, in a wire-to-wire effort...simply because the horse failed to gain ground in the stretch. And...where is the logic in that?
