But I don't think BE was given the best opportunity to win the race while Heywood was. And that made the difference.

And, yes, Heywood was clearly the main rival. He finished 1/2 length behind BE last out. Kershaw finished almost 4 behind BE last time they ran.
They did not break together last time. BE broke at least a length better. If you can’t see that, the rest of the conversation doesn’t matter because it’s obvious HB broke slow last time.

Under the wire the first time Kent pumps once or twice to get BE going. It didn’t really help.

They’re not robots. Some have better days than others.
