I wonder if the 'Big three' weren't paying too much attention to one another and not enough to the others in the race? It may be that Take had instructions to stay close to Hurricane Run, since that was the one they feared. Won the battle, lost the war. (That's how Jim Dandy won the Travers in 1930 - Gallant Fox and Whichone's jockeys were so concerned about watching each other, they didn't pay any attention to the longshot.)
