What we learned / things to watch

Whiskey Pete and Lapidarist showed why late leaders and close-finishing threats still deserve attention even when the lay result is successful.

Kohana Nation's easy win in a four-runner race is the practical warning from the day: short-priced horses able to control a small field need especially strong opposition.
