It was unfortunate, but I'm not sure what Lezcano could really do. I'm not a believer of parking a horse wide--especially on turf--just to ensure a clean trip. Ramon deserves the assist, but keep in mind that Hungry Island was dead last behind an absolutely glacial pace. I agree Winter Memories didn't care for the going, but if a horse in that race was going to prove better than her, it was obviously going to be Hungry Island. . . not that today proved anything.
