I'd say none of the above. Carson Hallow was dead game that day. You was all out in the stretch to just beat her by a nose. You was also squeezed against the rail for the entire stretch. If she was on the outside, maybe she eases on by.. impossible to say though. I'm not sure if there was any speed bias that day.. but with those fractions, it's possible that speed was holding pretty well.. which would mean You's race was even that more impressive to be able to catch CH. As Durkin said at the wire, it was really a race that didn't deserve a loser. Both were incredible that day.
