Easy to say now that CC should have been closer, but realistically, no one knows how the break and subsequent injury (however superficial it may or may not be) affected Espinoza's ability to put the horse in a more opportune position.
It would be refreshing to see DRF focus on the tangibles that affected the outcome rather than inane speculation.

yeah, if anyone should be question rides in that race, people should definitely take a look at Ortiz. No urgency what so ever to get near the lead, makes what i thought was a huge move going into the stretch, gets to the top of the lane and he nose dives the horse to the rail while entering the stretch 6 wide. I'm not saying he was winning, but after a big move why not continue outside
