I know we disagree on how fast the race was early, but either way the horse didn't kick in like he usually does. He didn't fire his "A", it happens.

Jay, I still think it was a huge mistake on JV's part to take him that far back. He took him out of his preferred running style and a great majority of the time, when you do that to horses, the chance of them firing their "A" race deminishes a great deal. I could have dealt with EC not hitting the board if Johnny had placed him where he runs best, but he clearly made a mistake taking him that far back.
