Victor was a little bit overconfident but he rode the horse hard the final 1/16th. I don't know if by not asking the horse at the top of the stretch if that cost him the race. It may have. I'm not sure. The thing that really cost him the race was being three-wide, head and head on the lead in :44 1/5. In hindsight, if Victor would have sat 3-4 lengths back, I think he would have won. But that's in hindsight. Victor didn't know that Desert Boom was the horse to beat. The winner came from about 6 lengths behind while DM was killing himself on the lead.
