To resolve the question, we are going to compare the probabilities of each horse winning the race. The probabilities given are:

I am Pat: 3/10 - Good Legs Lance: 0.6 - Colorado Bronze: 10% (which is the same as 0.10 in decimal form or 1/10 as a fraction)

To compare these probabilities, we first need to ensure that they are all in the same format. The probabilities for I am Pat and Colorado Bronze are in fraction form, while Good Legs Lance's probability is already in decimal form.

Let's convert the fractions to decimals for uniform comparison. - I am Pat: 3/10 is equal to 0.3 when converted to decimal form. - Colorado Bronze: 10% is 0.10 in decimal form, or essentially we can say 1/10 which is 0.1.

Now we compare the three decimal probabilities: - I am Pat: 0.3 - Good Legs Lance: 0.6 - Colorado Bronze: 0.1

We can clearly see that Good Legs Lance has the highest probability of winning the race with a probability of 0.6.
