If you watch the overhead shot he tried to lug in again as the hit the gap with the main track. Think that's the reason he didn't fire to the front.

Javier a dime lighter,a bit much of the whip in the Classic.

Jockeys have to make split-second decisions for the entire race but let's say for the sake of argument they have to make one decision a second.That means Cory hade to make approximately 104 Maybe Cory was a little overconfident, but could not fault him entirely on BOLT D' ORO ride, especially on the first turn, colts to his immediate inside all got out of the gate as well or better than his and if he was to take back before the turn to save ground he would be 12 to 15 lengths behind the euro upfront!
Once on the backstretch, he let his colt pull himself into contention by himself without any urging what so ever!He might have had a chance to get to the inside before or during the far turn and I think he thought he had plenty of horse to go around.the problem was the 7 horse took him even wider in mid-turn and into the stretch and he did not have the horse he thought he had.
He got beat by a million dollar yearling that is royally bred and had run two very good races.Can't wait to see these two run against each other in the spring
