You get a quality horse on the lead on a 48 half and you are going to have trouble running that horse down. Which mind you I wouldn't say is a crawling pace either where a horse steals a race, this is not a scenario where cheap speed wins a race. BTW De Kock did say Archipenko could win on the lead if he inherited it or come off the pace, in essence I am saying given the way the race was run, I disagree that Archipenko was clearly the best horse, as the Murtagh thing is totally out of proportion IMO. He got boxed in for part of the stretch, hey that's horseracing, Murtagh did his job trying to secure the best way to win the race for his horse. It sounds like sour grapes to me from De Kock.
