Or his opponents may have had a very tough time with him. Sure, he lost a couple races in '96, but he SHOULD have won the Classic had he not been 6-7 wide around both turns. He still only lost by a head or neck. That's the case of Bailey riding like he knew he had the best horse a little too much. He might've been clearly the best horse, but anyone's going to have trouble winning the Classic at 10 furlongs running 12 furlongs.
