at some venues they GET IT
but most don't.....everyone, it seems, is looking for that reincarnation of Silky Sullivan (who used to come back every St. Patrick's Day for his carrot cake at GGF)...
I hate to tell them (so I won't) that even though these types are exciting to watch, they just don't get up that often...

Not that strange -- Silky didn't make that many sustained moves from behind, it was more like he had a terrific burst for a quarter mile or three furlongs, like many sprinters. The difference is that Silky didn't unleash his until he had given the field a 30-length head start.
