Maybe crawling is a poor choice, but you and I have both watched enough races to know that there is no way in hell they went the fractions posted.

Not that it matters either way, as EC clearly got beat. Borel gave a typical up the rail move on a very good horse and JV gave a very suspect ride. Other than EC's maiden breaking win, there isn't a race in his form where he was anywhere close to being 9-10 lengths back after the first 6 panels. Very strange...

It isn't strange. Horse is dry my friend. Squeezed dry. My guess is that he won't race again and go to stud in Japan or Paraguay (THANK GOD!!!)
