The more I watch the replays on Jan. 26, the less I'm convinced that bias had a major role in the outcome of the Holy Bull. Even if the rail was a little bit deep, the short run to the turn and the short stretch run are such a benefit to the inside speed horses, that I have to hold that against Shanghai Bobby.
If he doesn't win, he isn't going to be in the exacta, and maybe not even in the trifecta, either.
