Default NoBiz last 100 yards

I just happened to catch a replay earlier today, and while I certainly could be wrong, it seemed to me that NoBiz started running again when he saw Scat Daddy passing him on the outside. Take a look at the last 100 yards, while it appeared he was badly beaten late stretch, he only lost by about 1/2 a length. This is just an observation, it may have been an optical illusion.

I saw the same thing while we were standing at the rail.

Its hard to tell for sure, but it looks like he may not have changed leads until deep stretch, way too late. When he did switch leads he did start to surge with the same pace as the winner. The talent is there and if he ever gets this racing thing figured out he's going to be tough. Its anybodies guess when that might happen.

To me it looked like he ran up and bumped the ass of The gold, then lost momentum, then re gained some late.
