Underwhelming performance in an underwhelming field.
Hard ridden throughout, struggled to match strides with the unheralded Straight No Chaser (who by the looks of his stride in the stretch--and subsequent wilt--could use a few months off), and did just enough to keep a bunch of midwest allowance horses and some old Santa Anita Derby also-rans from putting any pressure on him late.
My prediction for the rest of his career:
2nd in the Saudi Cup
last in the San Diego
retired
To be fair, that could be Country Grammer's 2023 campaign, too.
