This horse never had a clear seam to get off the rail and Manny Franco did a great job with Sinatra turning the race into a head-to-head with Set the Sail by keeping Mshawish pinned inside. My view was that Irad forced himself into a seam which really was not there. I also think that Sinatra would have caught Set the Sail if not knocked off stride in the lane.
