No, he wasn't going to catch him. The only reason he was gaining on him was because there was an extremely fast pace and War of Will was within about 3 lengths of that hot pace. Everlast was literally 20 lengths behind, which was the perfect place for him to be. By the way, if they went a little further I think Owendale would have passed Everlast.

Anyway, Everlast benefited from a perfect pace set up. He didn't run nearly as well as War of Will, Owendale, or Warrior's Charge (who ran a great race). Warrior's Charge set that suicide pace and only lost by 3 lengths. Warrior's Charge ran a 20x better race than Everlast.
