totally true.
the whole entire race revolved around one central issue:
"could a certain horse clear from that post and get the easy lead"
it wasn't about snide remarks, it certainly wasn't about suckup this or suckup that. It wasn't about blaming a jockey.
JJ performed consistently with his expectations. Which is what you WANT.
It was evident BEFORE the race.
I thought the shug horse might win it before the race, but it was going to be a low quality race to wager on regardless.
these Turf allowance and lower at belmont going 9f+ are hit or miss and half of them revolve around a tactic or have too slow of a pace. A lot of bet backs if you see that and wait for a horse to be placed in a"real" race.
