I hate the he said she said nonsense. However, IMO, Tagg is an excellent trainer, a very sharp horseman. Coa is a top jock. That being said, from what I gather, the track was dry, heavy, deep, etc. (all the words I heard from various people) after the break. Coa had said the horse was on the wrong lead, started finished wrong, wasn't his usual self, etc. I didn't ask Coa about it myself, but, regardless Coa has a good clock and knows better.
I would think he made a judgement call -- either pull him up or go on? If you go on, hope the colt gets right. He's a pro. You are not talking about some rookie. Something must have been going on.
