Oh, and, as best as I can determine, the horse that allegedly carried him out, the 9, finished about 12 lengths ahead of him.
Stranger things have happened, however, and I'll be sure to load up on this one next out at > 20:1.
P.S. that course is well on its way to looking like the FG course did late in this year's season; water shortage in the midwest?

Upon further review, I think it was a combination of being carried a little and also blowing the turn. Jockey did have a hard time getting him back into the race. Still will be interested in seeing how it goes next time.
