Totally disagree. Look at Smarty Jones/Spectacular Bid in the Belmont. Too fast a pace will hurt even the good ones. Smith is money.

Rewatch the Belmont. That was likely Smarty's best race. He put away 5 horses who ran themselves out coming after him. |

Yes, it was a brave race by SJ, but he should never been put in that situation. He was wide and set a fast pace for 1 1/2 miles.
