Not sure, but he looked real bad pulling towards the front. It wasn't a pretty thing to see when he took the lead on the backstretch. From mid-turn to mid-backstretch the horse was a total mess and totally out of his jock's control. It was awful to watch and in retrospect to think about the energy wasted on such antics.
