You don't say!

In all seriousness, his mount was under such a ride at the half-mile pole that the announcer noted it. He kept him inside to save ground, had dead aim, took over and got passed inside the sixteenth pole. His horse was finishing second at that point. Desormeaux deserves criticism for doing some of this in the past, but today was not one of those occasions in my opinion.
