You're basically right, he had no real trouble, maybe a very brief steady back to last early on the backstretch, but other than being wide his trip was clean. I guess English Channel had a sweet on the pace trip, but they weren't crawling, and Miesque's Approval had to rally while wide the whole way from last, but I was wrong, he didn't have any trouble to speak of.
I think maybe everyone that ran back out of that race ran an improved race the next time they ran.
I'm grasping at straws here!
