Didn't those two have some excuses for their relatively subpar performances in Sunland?
Irap was clearly steadied at the 3/16th pole right when he was advancing towards the lead. Gutierrez then spent the next furlong trying to get the horse to switch leads (something Leparoux didn't bother with at Keeneland) instead of trying to recover.
Conquest Mo Money was taken out of his normal running style (i.e., disputing the pace) in the Sunland Derby, which he reverted to at Oaklawn.
