The way Premium Tap remained on the bit down the lane suggests he might have given Invasor a fight had Kent D. tried to break the race open instead of waiting on competition.
I guess it still pales in comparison to the 2006 Kentucky Cup Classic, though...

Haven't watched this recently but wasn't Jara looking over his shoulder even worse down the stretch like Premium Tap was already 20 lengths behind him?
