OPINION

BAKER, Chief Judge.

At the heart of this monstrosity of a litigation that has crossed state lines and caused all parties to behave inexplicably at times, is a fairly straightforward dispute about when and whether an insurer's duty to defend has been triggered. We confess our frustration that the parties have forced the Indiana courts to take part in a race to the finish with the courts of Illinois.
