5Chittenango11815Mahle, Lavier

Summary

When averages are equal, you look to compression, and race depth. Oswego has a strong front runner, but there aren't enough runners between him and New Hartford's #1 to displace them. That's where the compression of New Hartford comes to play, and gives them the edge.
