I was foolish in failing to read through the pp's that First Defence would be going balls out from the gate. Commentator needed an easy first quarter and he did not get that today. I told a few people the race would be decided in the first two furlongs. 22.48 was not what the first quarter I anticpated. The second quarter which was run in 22.04 was too much for Commentator to sustain a strong stretch run.
Commentator ran his eye balls out and I think it's a great thing to see a 7 year old run a race like he did. At least a decent horse in Devine Park was the one who benefitted from the fast early fractions.
