While watching WTDW's action down the backside, it was clear he wasn't handling the surface. I expect him to bounce back and contend later in the summer in the big races.
On the flip side, Creative Cause moved great over the surface. I think the two flights took the starch out of his finish. I was worried about that, but still included him, which now seems wasteful. Had he stayed at Churchill or moved to Pimlico early, he probably would have been a more respectable four or five lengths back at the end.
