I dont know what difference the odds make in dismissing an out of the money performance in a race where Dutrow was talking the horse up like he couldnt lose. "If my horse runs his race he will be very tough to beat" is what he said before the race. I thought he made a pretty easy lead for a horse of his ability and expected a better finish out of him thats all.
Not faulting Dutrow at all for trying this grade 1, I didnt think it came up all that particularly tough either. To be honest, I thought it was a real good chance for him to win a grade 1.
