He was moving pretty well from about the first quarter up until about 6.5 furlongs where he was moving parallel to Street Sense and had no where to go, then while trying to go outside of the mob, brushes with Dominican ... Once CQ brushes with Dominican he then swerves back inside of one horse and then outside of the pack, ending up wide on the turn...
IMO he could have gotten 4th or vied for 3rd with a smooth trip.
