They didn't allow him to run at all in his final work--it was said to be a mile in 1:38, however, I think most agree it was more like 7 furlongs in 1:38.
The idea to try and drain all the speed out of him in his preperation, and than have Frankie take a hold and rate him out of the gate---yes it was incredibly stupid, but obviously something was bothering the horse. As he never was on the bridal and into the steel at any point.
