well, that kind of trip kept him from running a sub 23 second 5th quarter. Which when you're 5 1/2 back at the mile mark run in 1:37.86 mile to leading at 2:01.66 is running a sub 23 second 5th quarter. I'm guessing horses rarely win with that kind of trip either in a 12f race. when you go sub 23 5th quarter...I agree, you ain't running anyone down. There ain't anyone left to run down...only get run over.
