The spots were the right spots...so why does it matter who put him in?
Perhaps Ramsey wanted him wrangled back in races at 9f and 10f? That seems like a stretch.

I would actually argue the only race he didn't run in that he should have was the Fourstardave for $500K instead of the Hall of Fame at 1 1/16 miles. He missed no reasonable spots by running in the Blue Grass or Belmont Derby and made the only race that he HAD to be in, the $400K Penn Mile ( one mile by the way....where he jogged ).

They were the right spots. I've said that over and over.
The comparisons to Bourbon Courage are obvious, both of them were cut-back angle plays who fit my criteria for that angle.
