I needed Grasshopper for my token straight tri play, but there was nothing at all wrong with that ride.
He got caught wide on the turns - but, with the post he had and the way the break played - it wasn't the riders fault.
The pace certainly didn't appear to be that taxing.
The winner of that race is certainly better than his form looks - and Grasshopper ran like it's possible that his Saratoga form might not be as good as it looks on paper.
