Others to watch include Tom Fleming of Bloomfield, N.J., who twice has finished second, Mexico's Mario Cuevas and Toronto's Jerome Drayton (2:10.08 lifetime best). But the excitement of the Boston Marathon is in part due to the unpredictability of the finish: dark horse runners often manage to upset the favorites (Rodgers, Cusack and Fultz all fit into that category) so it's best to be prepared...
