He looked ordinary to me as well. That was a rough stretch run and the winner had the least trouble. Leo was, after all, 6/5 and his trip to just above the 1/8 pole was pretty easy. He probably would have beat the winner with clear sailing in the stretch but then again I think Mott's horse may have beat them all without the trouble he had. It's really hard to pull Leo out of there as the sure winner at 6/5 without trip trouble as a few of the other runners had problems as well. As far as bet backs of a beaten 6/5 go, I personally wouldn't get on board at what will surely be another short number. But good luck...
