I think the simple dynamics of the race meant LeParoux did a terrible job judging the pace. The first 3 horses were all forwardly placed or at least mid pack (AK)and the 4th place horse was the pace setter. He was too far back. As someone else I read wrote...when the Derby favorite runs the last half mile in nearly under 47 seconds and is a non-threatening 8th, there's problems.
