Mach Ride looks like a very nicely developing colt. I didn't figure he'd be a real threat to beat Henny today, even with his misadventure at the start.

To answer your question as to whether he could have beaten Henny with a clean start, I don't see that as debatable, he would not have. Too much emphasis is often given in my opinion to the real effect of the bad start.
