That's what I was suggesting more so about Spun to Run than Maximum Security. Most of the other front running winners were actually tried at the end of their races even though they won. They just held on because the closers were also tired and could not rally like they would on a normal track. MS actually at least ran hard and well start to finish.
I usually hate the Spun to Run trip chasing the superior speed horse. You often blow 2nd money after the winner puts you away like MS repulsed him twice. But on that track, the horses that might have taken advantage were also tired even though they did not get used up front. So he hung on even though he was tired.
