Whatever the plan was failed and doubt he gets a call back on Jackson Bend

JV rode the tractor rut the whole way around. Which left Nakatani his only option to skim the rail and try and surprise JV.. Ended up not having enough horse. No shame getting beat by Mo in 33 4/5 under one back handed whip.

His move was also more premature than Newbomb Turk's with Fran Drescher in Hollywood Knights.

Visually it looked premature. If he sits and waits he still runs second. Either way he was not going to win the way the track is playing. I'm sure Zito and Nakatani knew they had to be within striking distance for them to have a chance at beating Mo.
Royal Delta faced the same problem later on. They tried to stay with HDG early on and she lost her punch but was good enough to be second best.

Why, they are going to have an optional 50k claimer on the undercard that she's going to run in?
