Yeah - the race "collapsed" because the two horses up front suck - and Giant Oak and Succesful Dan are simply much better than any horse in that race who didn't finish in the top 3.

The pace was a friggen joke. 48.92 for a half mile and Successful Dan almost ripped Leperoux out of the saddle. It was a crawl. Cheap claimers went much faster at the same distance.

That's not a collapse. That's the two best horses in the race outrunning a pack of inferior horses.
