"I understand by the many comments on here that there were high hopes for Battle Plan. And Blame certainly didnt have the best of trips to run him down, but I just couldnt help but notice, and I saw this watching live, that about 100yrs from the wire BP was looking for a place to lay down. He had everything his own way and basically stopped at the wire. Although it was a solid G1 win for Blame I just didnt see it as awesome. BP put up zero fight at the wire."

A Battle Plan injury does not take away from Blame's performance from start to finish. Blame ran against the setup and the grain of the track, and that, at least in my opinion, is not tarnished by an injury to the frontrunner.

Yeah, I called it too in the other thread. I thought he was done on the turn.

Yeah it does. He wouldn't have won.

Your attempts to be so matter of fact are appreciated though completely unsubstantiated. Even if you think Blame wouldn't have caught Battle Plan had the injury not happened, it would have been painfully obvious who ran the best race.

I know what you are saying as well.

However, had BP won by drawing off by 5, I would not agree with you.
