So i don't understand why some are saying "IF" Mambo would not have had a rough trip he would have won. Are they watching the same video of #9 ? IF CJ would not have stumble, pushed out, lost stride he would have won by five. What do you DT'ers think? A lot of cry-babying today.
CJ broke a tad akwardly, but to say he "reared at start , stumble out of gate" is being waaayyy over dramatic, as well as saying he was "pushed sideways entering stretch"
He ran a great ground saving trip, and MiS was wide through both. That was the difference. To say he wins by 5 if he doesn't spot the field a half length at the break and brush the 1 in the final turn is a bit of an over exaggeration.

For what it's worth I used CJ and not MiS so I have no bias

Who exactly is cry-babying and why did they wait until today?

Edit: Oh, I see, you started another "I hate Tale of Ekati" thread. Splendid.
