Didnt Cacique also have a huge excuse (bad ride, way wide?) in his first race this year out in California when he lost to Milk it Mick? Or am I getting him mixed up with somebody else? Pardon me if I am, I dont have Cacique's PPs in front of me.

And didnt everybody say teh only reason he lost the Million was Tin Man and his crawling pace? Isnt that an excuse?
Yes he was pretty wide on the turn in that race in CA, but since then I really like the way they have been more aggresive with him and riding closer on the lead. His victory on the Belmont Stakes undercard was a very clever ride in my opinion.

Did anyone watch the head on of the Arlington Million break? English Channel got knocked hard by Cacique...that has to be the worst positioning of a gate I've seen.
