Didn't those two, in a light pace scenario, have the run of the race, sitting 1-2 throughout?
With a fast pace in front him, Tiago could easily make noise in the Met Mile, particularly when the prime speed is an all-or-nothing type like Commentator. I guess a lot of it would depend on Smith's ride, too, as the horse has shown in previous starts that he doesn't need to lag too far back to get the job done.
