I hate when convenient excuses cloud the real results. Fact is that Corinthian had a bad start. A horrible start. But down the backstretch, he had passed Evening Attire and was right on Magna Graduate's flank on the turn. He was in good position and had nothing left. I know some will say he used up too much to get into contention in the first place. Maybe so but from my perspective, if he was good enough, he probably wasn't going to beat the winner but second or third should have been where he finished.
