Actually, I think this may have been more the horse than the rider after the first quarter. If you watched the head-on replay as the field went down the backside, while Mission Approved was down on the rail, Sudan had to be out in the four or five path, so it's not like these two horses were battling head-to-head. It looked like Velazquez was trying to get his horse off Mission Approved but was unable to get the horse to relax.
I do agree with Sudan ran a big race, under the circumstances.
