The situation dictated him sitting on the rail from the 7/8ths pole. When GP was in full stride RD only had one choice and it was to stay towards the inside and poke through.

The winner of the first was never more than a few paths off the rail. Vale of York raced on the inside for quite a while before angling out. Gayego nearly won the BC Sprint while racing on the rail the entire way. Furthest Land stalked on the inside the whole way.

Was the rail that bad? And even if it was, Dominguez never put Gio Ponti on the rail.

Gio Ponti lost to a better horse yesterday, and this is coming from someone who bet Gio Ponti.
