I didn't think Visit would beat PK, though I certainly thought she'd be 2nd. That result was fine, as Visit got, essentially, the same trip as the winner.

What I'm referring to is GG's ride on GP. He was BLOCKED the length of the stretch run, and Bejarano, on Midships, put the nail in the coffin when he shut him off just when Gomez was about to go around horses. Maybe GP doesn't win but he's definitely, at least, 2nd with a clear run. Add that to his bad trip last out, the race against Medeo where he ran a ton more distance than the winner, and what was a replay of today's trip last year in the BC, and you have a horse that seems to be snakebit.
