I'm old school and when they put over 121 on EC I had to take that in to consideration. For every pound over 121 in a race that is over 1 1/8 miles will slow a horses effort by approx one lenght. That one lenght cost him the race. His action and being outside the pace was the best position to win. I was surprised that Grey Swallow ran so well on a yeilding turf. I expected Cacique to run that even race down the lane to the wire. Game win. Thanks Prado!!!
