I just find that whole scenario hard to believe all things considered.
There was no waiting. Winchester started drifting out and instead of staying inside, like Valdivia eventually did right behind him. Rosario made the decision to go outside and Valdivia decided inside. It gave Champs the few lengths he needed and he held. Champs is a better horse than Obrigado on most days. I don't think yesterday was one of them.

First of all, races aren't run on paper, as I'm sure you know. So what the 2 respective horses looked like on paper had and has nothing to do with it
LOL. This was your statement and I disagree and stated why. What would i have to reach for?
Champs stayed inside because he was running BEHIND Obrigado. Obrigado's decision to move outside influenced Winchester to try to fan him out which created the hole for Champs.
Champs is a better horse than obrigado any day. Valdivia got a lucky trip and was allowed to stay patient because he was on the best horse.
