You never know, he might've hurt himself. It could've caused the loss or happened when he was trying hard not to lose. These days I don't count on a horse making the Derby til the post parade starts. Something didn't look quite right much farther back than it should've if he was just getting tired. It makes me wonder if, for no other reason than to rule out something physical, they've already booked an x-ray for Mo.
I didn't see him looking absolutely amazing and then hit a distance wall. Who knows what that was all about.
