I think it was the trip. If SS had the clear path at the rail he would have been gone, going away. Instead he was 3 or 4 out with horses on Both sides. I could picture him thinking "where am I? now what?" and he hesitated. He didn't have his security blanket, the rail. The trip. He is the superior horse. He likes CD. If he gets the clear path at the rail on the final turn in the Derby SS wins going away. If he has to be 3 or 4 out again he may be that unsure, different horse again.
