A bad test for NT ends Bob. He knows that. There is no way that horse was juiced today.
The 49.5 half mile split allowed the re break. In this case it was just the trip. NT tripped out.
From a handicapping standpoint Mage is the bet back out of this race, no? Wish they would have moved early with Mage. Thought they would take that chance knowing how slow they’d go as opposed to waiting.

Fully agree that it’s almost zero chance that the winner was on anything for exactly the reasons you laid out.
