He really was not able to get into stride or find a comfortable position to run in.
His rider told you the problem.He didn't handle the surface(for the 1st time 1n 10 starts.)Now,you don't like that,and so you come up with another reason.Johnny said 3 steps out of the gate he knew it was not gunna happen for this horse.Not 100 yards.Not the middle of the backstretch.That's creative fiction.
