In addition, they raced over Poly which is a surface that Dominican loves and SS doesnt really care for.

Agreed on all points except I think the source of three of those problems can be blamed on the horse.
1) his fault
2) his fault
3) not his fault
4) ehhh...push
The champion or best horse in the race should get clear and mow them down. Maybe it was jockey error and Borel should have swung him wide where he could let down and get in full cry. I don't know. I'm not backing him though.
I see all your points and I am making concessions for my choice as well. I don't wish SS or Nafzger any ill-will and would be thrilled for them to win. Just don't like what I see.
