I thought Gryder was in good position. The question about the 5 for me was the distance. When he started to back up, Gryder was in great shape and his horse has no excuses. But back to the point, Rosario never gave his mount any chance by dropping so far back. It was 1 1/8 on the turf with what 6 horses in the race. 2 of the horses wanted to be near the lead and everyone else was a closer. So it didn't seem like the fractions were going to be suicidal to drop 15 lenghts off the lead. Bottom line is that I just thought it was a very poor ride.
