I found Moss and Bailey's comments interesting after the race, they both mentioned that BB did not have an injection of steroids for this race and it is possible it was a negative factor to him running badly. I think Moss was great debunking any possible excuse that might have been used, especially pointing out Touch Gold won this race with a worser 1/4 crack then BB/
