Yea, pace is not the place in a turf race...
but when they walk around as of late, early speed can be pretty good.
Part of the problem, is that there may be 3 horses capable of going 47 112, but 2 of them go 49 114 and the 3rd one doesn't ever establish anything...
sit in 2nd or 3rd lately, and at least you've got every opportunity. At least if you belong in the contending group, you get every opportunity.
TLG is right. There's a lot more room for strategic positioning in turtle turf tactics.
Jose Ortiz does a pretty good job of trying to 'take the initiative'.
