Let Em Shine was being asked very early on then was practically eased, I suppose if he went to the whip he could have gotten past Mentor Crane, maybe.
If these races were run with machines and piloted by robots maybe everything would play out in perfect orchestra but that is very much not in the case.

Smith didn't try to get Pianist in front and I believe if he sent early Pianist was faster than the 1.
He had the lead on Let Em Shine but for some odd reason he didn't take to the rail to shut off and force Mentor Cane to go outside of him. Neither needed to be a machine. Smith just needed to have a smart strategy. He didn't on either of those horses plain and simple.
