I think theres more to it Rupert. He knew by reading the drf the race was going to have a probable slower than needed pace for the Naughter NY'er to do his come from behind thing. Thats why he had him closer to the pace right from the get go.

Prado is far superior to Kent D. Not even close. Its like comparing David Ortiz with A Rod when it comes to clutch hitting.

He didn't have him closer to the pace from the get go. He was dead-last going into the clubhouse turn.

Okay, by the half the horse was right up with the leaders then dropped back accordingly. He knew he had tons of horse and he knew going into the race what he may have to do and did it to win. That was a nice ride.
Of those 54 horses Desormeaux lost with, how many do you think Prado would have gotten home first?

I have no idea if Desormeaux cost any of those horses the race. I haven't watched closely enough.

Its so. No way can Gomez stay with Prado. Frieze and Anderson aren't exactly buddies after that Bailey split up and Prado is just far superior to Gomez. Frieze will just take mounts on claimers every time anyone gets close to Prado and open up.
