I'll chime in with my take. I think if you have the better horse just ride him until your both head to head. SS always gets lazy on the lead, Derby and Tampa Derby are both examples of this as is the Blue Grass. The horse does better when he has a chance to see the horse he's running against head to head like he did against AGS at Tampa. Looking over your shoulder 50 yds to the wire doesn't help either. I think he should've let S drift out a little to slow Curlin down just that little bit and make'em take you down.
