Yes, he ran a really good race. When he saw the other horse coming, he tried to fight back but he just didn't have quite enough left after those early fractions. When you go :44 1/5 and you are three-wide all the way, it's really like going :43 4/5. Declan's Moon isn't even a speed horse. He wasn't even on the lead in the Santa Catalina when they went the half in : 46 4/5. He was sitting a couple length behind. He certanly doesn't want to go :44.
He ran really well today. He's definitely the horse to beat in the Pat O' Brien.
